The Honourable Jim Prentice — - Minister of Environment Government of Canada By Email Correspondence to: Jim.Prenticeec.gc.ca cc Dear Sir: C Re: Enbridge Northern Gateway Project — Final Agreement on Joint Review Process This letter is to state the opinions of the Sea to Sands Conservation Alliance with regards to the terms of the Final Agreement on the Joint Review Panel process for the Enbridge Northern Gateway crude oil/ condensate twin pipelines. We are a group of concerned citizens based out of Prince George, British Columbia with support from across western Canada. Prince George is a community that lies in close proximity to the proposed Enbridge pipelines route, and is inhabited by people that are closely tied to the surrounding land. We recently formed the Sea to Sands Conservation Alliance to express our concern for this rnega-project. Interest in our group has been considerable and our groups already have well over 600 supporters; opposition to this pipeline project is increasing daily throughout British Columbia. We count ourselves as part of a broader network of concerned citizens. Our reasons for opposing the terms of the final agreement on the Joint Review Panel are as follows: 1. We seriously question whether a three-member panel comprised of two National Energy Board members and one Environment Minister appointed member will be adequate to evaluate this process. This is because of the magnitude of this project, its broad-sweeping implications and the number of communities and stakeholders that will be affected by it.
