  • Attachment B Environmental assessment of the Line 3 Replacement project in light of Canadian climate change mitigation obligations: immediate considerations and broader implications Robert B. Gibson School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability University of Waterloo 24 May 2016 1 Attachment B Environmental assessment of the Line 3 Replacement project in light of Canadian climate change mitigation obligations: immediate considerations and broader implications notes prepared by Robert B. Gibson School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability University of Waterloo 24 May 2016 The questions at hand • How adequate is the recently proposed approach to project-related upstream GHG emissions (and other climate change issues within the ambit of federal responsibilities), in Environment and Climate Change Canada’s supplementary environmental assessment review of the GHG effects of the Line 3 Replacement pipeline proposed by Enbridge Pipelines Inc.? • More broadly, how should the Canadian government address climate change implications in environmental assessment reviews and associated decision making on proposed hydrocarbon pipeline proposals now in the approval process and in the future? • Ultimately, how should the Canadian government address climate change implications in decision making on all new undertakings, including proposed new policies and programs as well as new projects? The immediate context • For many years now, hydrocarbon pipeline proposals and approval processes have been a major area of controversy in Canada, and climate change implications have been among the major unresolved issues. • At the Paris Climate Conference in ...

On April 18, 2016, CAPP submitted comments to ECCC’s draft methodology for assessing the upstream GHG emissions from projects undergoing federal assessments, which was published to the Canada Gazette Notice Part 1 on March 19, 2016. We note that the proposed methodology recognizes the evolving and leading nature of climate policies in Canada, which will result in further emissions reductions from domestic upstream oil and gas production. With respect to the conclusions made by ECCC in the assessment, we agree with the following key points: • That Line 3 is unlikely to impact global GHG emissions due to it having ...

We provide these comments on the basis of our experience in federal environmental assessments of major oil and gas projects, and our interest in strengthening environmental assessment and action on climate change generally. Our first comments echo the comments we submitted on April 18 concerning the proposed methodology for estimating the upstream greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions associated with major oil and gas projects undergoing federal environmental assessments (attached to this letter). Having now seen the proposed methodology at work in the Draft Review, we also make additional comments. To summarize our comments, we are concerned that the Draft Review fails to actually assess the climate impacts of Line 3 and its compatibility with national and global climate targets, which would seem to be the purpose of ECCC being ...
