I wholeheartedly agree with the findings of Council, and the Township's position outlining its concerns about the potential negative impacts our community faces if the RBT2 Project is not modified. I urge Port Metro Vancouver and the RBT2 Review Panel to provide in a timely fashion the reasonable requests made by the Township outlined in their correspondence. The Township of Langley has felt the impact of increased rail transportation through its corridor for many years, and deserves to have its concerns about future increased rail transportation addressed to its satisfaction. <Original signed by> Mark Warawa, M.P.

  • April 17, 2014 Hon. Christy Clark Premier of British Columbia PO
    April 17, 2014 Hon. Christy Clark Premier of British Columbia PO BOX 9041 STN PROV GOVT Victoria BC V8W 9E1 Dear Premier: Re: De‐regulating Shale Gas Development We wish to convey our deepest concerns regarding the Order in Council, approved by Lt. Governor Guichon on April 11, 2014 and deposited by Minister Mary Polak on April 14, 2014, which amends the reviewable projects regulations exempting “sweet gas plants” from the BC environmental assessment process. Although Minister Rustad was in Fort Nelson on April 13, 2014 he did not attend the BC First Nations Shale Gas‐LNG Summit convened April 14 – 16, 2014. Instead, the First Nations Chiefs and Leaders were addressed by Ministers Rustad and Coleman on April 15, 2014 through a video presentation. There was not any mention of the BC Government’s decision reflected in the Order in Council. The Chiefs and Leaders were deeply insulted and offended. The credibility and trust of the BC government Ministers were seriously questioned by the Chiefs and Leaders. We have the April 16, 2014 Declaration (attached) from the Fort Nelson First Nation and we completely support it. We also support the call by Chief Sharleen Gale and the Fort Nelson First Nation Council calling on a “Chief to Chief” meeting directly with you. We are aware of Minister Polak stating the Order in Council will be rescinded. This should be done at the earliest possible date. As well, it is absolutely important that your government not re‐introduce this de‐ regulation initiative in any form. Thank you for your attention to this important matter and we look forward to an early response.
