[email protected] 8 1 audio-visual technicians. 2 The purpose of the hearing is to allow the 3 panel to receive information from interested 4 parties and the general public on the general 5 effects of the proposal by BC Hydro to construct 6 and operate a large earthfill dam, powerhouse, 7 transmission line, and ancillary works. 8 The hearing is also designed to provide 9 opportunities for Hydro to explain the proposed 10 project and respond to concerns and questions 11 raised by others. 12 This hearing session is designed for the 13 panel to receive information from interested 14 parties and BC Hydro on potential effects related 15 to the aquatic environment and corresponding 16 mitigation. 17 We are an independent panel. We are not part 18 of the Government of Canada or the Government of 19 BC. We are appointed by the two governments for a 20 short time to conduct an assessment of and to 21 provide conclusions on the environmental, economic, 22 social, health, and heritage effects of the project 23 in a manner consistent with the requirements of the 24 Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 and the 25 BC Environmental Assessment Act. Mainland Reporting Services Inc. [email protected] 9 1 We are also required to provide 2 recommendations about mitigation measures and 3 follow-up programs for the management of these 4 effects should the project proceed. 5 And we must also include a summary of 6 information received at this hearing that may help 7 the governments to determine the justifiability of 8 the project, mitigation measures included, should 9 it proceed. 10 In addition to receiving information on the 11 effects of the project, the panel will receive 12 information regarding the manner in which the 13 project may adversely affect asserted or 14 established Aboriginal Rights and Treaty Rights as 15 well as information regarding the location, extent, 16 and exercise of those Charter rights that may be 17 affected by the project. 18 We can make recommendations which, if 19 implemented, would avoid or mitigate potential 20 adverse effects of the project on those rights. 21 However, the panel cannot make any determination on 22 the nature, scope, and strength of asserted 23 Aboriginal Rights or the scope of the Crown's duty 24 to consult, or whether the Crown has met its duty 25 to consult and accommodate. The panel also cannot Mainland Reporting Services Inc. [email protected] 10 1 make a determination on Treaty interpretation or 2 whether elements of the project infringe on Treaty 3 Number 8. 4 After the hearings, we will prepare our 5 report for the Federal Minister of the Environment 6 and the Executive Director of the BC Environmental 7 Assessment Office. This report will be submitted 8 within 90 days of the close of the hearing and will 9 be made available to the public by the governments, 10 not by us. 11 Your participation and involvement is very 12 important to us and we trust it is helpful to both 13 Hydro and other participants. We recognize that 14 the conclusions and recommendations that we will 15 provide to the Federal and Provincial Governments 16 on this matter may have an impact on Fort St. John 17 and surrounding communities. 18 I want to assure you that we take this 19 responsibility very seriously and ask everybody 20 here to do the same. 21 When you speak to us, you are not required to 22 give evidence under oath and you are certainly not 23 required to have a lawyer. But everyone is 24 expected to speak honestly and to give us good 25 information. Mainland Reporting Services Inc. [email protected] 11 1 Our duty is to remain independent and 2 impartial. And, as a result, we cannot engage in 3 private discussion on these matters with anyone 4 involved in these proceedings. 5 We do apologize if we appear detached or 6 unapproachable, so we just need to ensure that our 7 behaviour does not give anyone any reason to be 8 concerned concerning our impartiality. 9 If you have any questions about the project 10 or the process, please see a member of the 11 Secretariat. 12 All documents filed in this proceeding must 13 be placed on the public record unless otherwise 14 ordered by the panel as a result of a formal 15 request for confidentiality. Our strong preference 16 is to avoid accepting information that can't be 17 shared. 18 You should also note that transcripts are 19 being produced by our court reporter. For that 20 reason, it is essential that you use the 21 microphones when speaking and speak reasonably 22 slowly. Transcripts of testimony will generally be 23 available on the website the next day. When you do 24 come forward to speak, please identify yourself and 25 spell your last name for the court reporter. Mainland Reporting Services Inc. [email protected] 12 1 I remind you to direct questions or comments 2 to me as the panel Chair.
