THE PRESIDING COMMISSIONER: Good morning, everyone. 1021. Welcome to the Canada Energy Regulator’s oral Indigenous knowledge sessions regarding NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd.'s proposed North Corridor Expansion Project. NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. will be referred to throughout the morning here as NGTL. 1022. The sharing of oral Indigenous knowledge that we've come here to hear is scheduled to occur from Monday, February 3rd until Thursday, February 6th. 1023. And the Commission would like to begin this morning by acknowledging that we're here on Treaty 8 lands, which are the traditional territory and homelands of many First Nations and Métis people, all of whose relationships to and connections with this land not only began long ago, but continue to present day, and will continue long after today. 1024. Treaty 8 was signed in 1899. Adhesions to this agreement were signed that same year on July 1st, 1899, at Peace River Landing; July 6 at Dunvegan; July 8 at Fort Vermillion; July 13 at Fort Chipewyan; July 17 at Smith’s Landing; July 25 and 27 at Fond du Lac; August 4 at Fort McMurray; and August 4 at Wabasca Lake. 1025. Further adhesions were signed the following year in 1900 at Lesser Slave Lake and Fort Vermillion, as well as locations in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. 1026. The Commission is committed to receiving knowledge, understanding and learning from it, investing in relationships with the communities of Treaty 8 and the other communities from Treaty 6 that will be attending the sessions here this week, and doing all that we can to move forward together on the journey of reconciliation. 1027. It is with truth and respect that we would like to acknowledge all of the Indigenous ancestors of these lands and reaffirm our relationship with one another. Transcript - REDACTED GH-002-2019 Driftpile Cree Nation Oral Indigenous Knowledge 1028. Now, I'll provide a little bit of detail about how the session will proceed this morning. 1029. First, we will begin with introductions. We'll introduce ourselves as the Panel. We will provide Driftpile Cree Nation the opportunity to introduce themselves and their presenters. And we'll also provide NGTL the opportunity to introduce themselves and their representatives here today. 1030. We'll go through all of those introductions. Then I'll then talk a little bit about logistics, the schedule for the morning and some of the details about the venue and the emergency evacuation procedures. 1031. After that, we will provide an opportunity for parties to raise any preliminary matters. Following that, we will proceed with the swearing in or affirming of knowledge keepers, elders, and other presenters who've come here to share knowledge. 1032. We have an eagle feather here that is available for that purpose. 1033. And just a reminder today that we're using microphones. Some of us have a little bit of trouble hearing, so it's nice to be able to amplify our voices in this way. And we'll be using the microphones throughout the morning, so please try to remember to speak directly into them. Make sure the red light is on. That means it's on and it's working. And this is really so everyone in the room can hear and so the court reporter can hear us as well. 1034. Now, I will proceed to introduce ourselves as a Panel. 1035. My name is Trena Grimoldby. I am one of the Commissioners at the Canada Energy Regulator. I am the Presiding Commissioner for the purposes of this application and for the proceedings here this week. I am from Edmonton. My ancestors are Métis. I also have Ukrainian and British ancestry as well. 1036. I'll now turn the microphone over to Commissioner Jacknife and she can make her introduction as well. 1037. COMMISSIONER JACKNIFE: Good morning, everyone. 1038. My name is Wilma Jacknife, and I am from Cold Lake First Nation in east central Treaty 6 territory. I'm one of the Commissioners with the Canada Transcript - REDACTED GH-002-2019 Driftpile Cree Nation Oral Indigenous Knowledge Energy Regulator, and I'm happy to be here today to hear the testimony of the presenters. Thank you. 1039. COMMISSIONER LUCIUK: Good morning. 1040. My name is Stephania Luciuk. I am also one of the six Commissioners of the Canada Energy Regulator. 1041. I now live in Calgary. I'm from Saskatchewan originally. And I wanted to extend my thanks to everybody for travelling here for today, for joining us here today. So thank you for taking the time to be with us. 1042. THE PRESIDING COMMISSIONER: I'll now ask Driftpile Cree Nation to provide an introduction of their members and Mr. Lalji or Mr. Overall, I'd appreciate if you could lead us through that, and if you're also able to let us know who's an elder, if you have any interpreters with you, and who might be a knowledge keeper so we can ensure that we're referring to everyone in the most correct and respectful way. So please proceed with that. 1043. MR. LALJI: Thank you very much and to the Panel for welcoming us and for the opening remarks. 1044. With me today on behalf of Driftpile, we have two elders who are immediately to my left at the beginning of the table. We have Peter Freeman who is an elder. We also have Elder Theresa Campiou who is beside him. And then we have Karl Giroux who is the Consultation Coordinator for Driftpile Cree Nation who will also be giving evidence and remarks, and myself, David Overall, who's also counsel for the Nation with me. 1045. And we also have a councillor, Starr Sasakamoose, who we're very happy to -- that he's here. He is a leader of the Nation, a councillor, and he will not be presenting remarks, but he is here to observe the evidence of the elders and the Consultation Coordinator. 1046. And I will defer to the others with respect to the protocol to follow, which is, as we discussed with the Process Advisor, there will be a smudge and an opening prayer. 1047. THE PRESIDING COMMISSIONER: Thank you. I think at this point I'll invite the NGTL representatives to introduce themselves, following Transcript - REDACTED GH-002-2019 Driftpile Cree Nation Oral Indigenous Knowledge which may be the best time for the smudge, the prayer, and affirmations. 1048. So why don’t we take that opportunity to hear from NGTL and then we'll proceed with those matters. Thank you. 1049. Mr. Fontaine? 1050. MR. FONTAINE: Thank you, Madam Chair. 1051. My name is Justin Fontaine. I'm a lawyer with Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt in Calgary, and I'm here as counsel for NGTL today.

    CEAA Project Description Summary Sundance 7 Project GENERAL INFORMATION 1. The project’s name, nature and proposed location. TransAlta MidAmerican Partnership (TAMA Power) is pleased to provide this Project Summary for the proposed Sundance 7 Project (the Project). TAMA Power is a partnership between TransAlta Corporation (TransAlta) and MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company. The Project would be located near the existing TransAlta coal-fired power generation facilities in central Alberta, and is planned to be a combined-cycle natural gas-fired power generation plant in a 2 x 1 configuration with a gross nominal generation capacity of 856 megawatts (MW). The Project will be located in a green field site in northwest and southwest quarter-sections of 10-52-4 West of the Fifth Meridian (W5M), approximately 7 kilometres (km) southwest of the Village of Wabamun, Alberta (Figure 1). It is anticipated the Project will be in service in late 2018, in anticipation of the programed retirement of coal-fired assets in the region. The Project will be a highly efficient combined cycle natural gas power plant and TAMA Power has incorporated low emission technology into the design to limit potential adverse environmental effects. The Project site was selected in order to take advantage of an existing power facility labor pool and infrastructure, thus reducing the footprint of new disturbance. 2.
