I ask this question because as a delegate I presented the valve concern during the Enbridge Line 9 B hearing in Toronto after I personally observed how pipeline designs failed to have regard for both delta water levels of spring thaw and the vast amount of upstream growth that we experienced in Waterloo Region since the pipeline's initial installation in the early 1970s. The additional runoff from storm water eroded the river banks to the point the shut off valve located beside the river, was under water each spring. We only had one valve by this major water way because the pipe's installation predated the Navigable Water's Act which demands two valves. Due to the reversal of oil flow for this line the valve was on the wrong side of the river to stop incoming flow. The nearest valve on the other side was 12km away which was how they spaced the entire line n 1970's, Valves were generally spaced 12km apart. . Even with all valves closed, the amount of oil that can discharge from a line like that is huge.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_23540" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_23540" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;">At the Line 9 phase 1 hearing I secured written data from Enbridge which I used as evidence at the NEB hearing where Enbridge admits they only monitor the pipelines in the river once every 5 years.

It's clogging up the system resulting in shut downs costing millions. The remedy they used was sodium
hypochlorite to kill the mussels but it resulted in Cladophora algae blooms which also clogs up the system resulting in more shutdowns. Both issues are resulting in millions of dollars worth of maintenance issues and power plant shut downs.

That is when I learned that at the Federal Level of Planning there currently is no standard for completion for engineering reports for NEB processes. The process for seeking permits at the NEB is based mainly on predictions because there is no criteria for the completion of engineering reports at the federal permit level. The evidence to support this fact is in the Transcript for the Line 10 NEB hearing on page 45 starting at Line 818 to 869 National Energy Board file A80075 International Reporting Inc. - OH-001-2016 Hearing Transcript Vol. 2. </div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485261090632_20284" target="_blank" href="https://apps.neb-one.gc.ca/REGDOCS/Item/View/3004864">https://apps.neb-one.gc.ca/REGDOCS/Item/View/3004864</a></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;">Across Canada our Provincial policies include building codes, pollution laws and engineering standards Unfortunately these same laws don't apply to First Nation's communities because they are on federally regulated properties exempt from these same safety standards. Indigenous Rights activist Arthur Manuel recently passed away but he published many books and reports clearly illustrating the fact that denial of Treaty Rights in Canada is serving as an illegal subsidy for industries. From what I have observed at both the CNSC and the NEB I agree. On a deep science level, I'd say this is the very heart of where the corruption began,</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;">Being Mi'kmaq my people were the first Christian Nation in North America over 250 year before Canada was even formed. The Vatican Concordat of 1610 sealed our ability to do trade with Europe in exchange for our duty to protect Christians and to maintain our own faiths which according to treaty law, could be done inside or outside the Church. The church in the Vatican Concordat has an open window to signify that particular clause. We were always faithful to the terms of the treaties even to this day. They are sacred agreements of partnership as is a marriage which is why the ring finger best represents the concerns of the Treaties. Unfortunately at this time we know someone is cheating in this relationship. Our treaties are being violated. This is unacceptable. We need equal protections of lives for both our people for the long term. We need treaties honored and acted upon with compliance consistently. </div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;"><b id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485261090632_25092">Who is the Crown? </b></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;"><b><br clear="none"></b></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv7455506750yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485232732999_31182" style="font-size:16px;font-family:HelveticaNeue,;">I assisted Chippewas of the Thames in preparation for their Supreme Court Case challenging Canada's decision to support the Line 9 approval on grounds that there was no Crown involvement at all with the approval process for the Line 9 pipeline. . Under Treaty Rights Nation to Nation consultation is supposed to be provided by the Govenor General's office in Canada yet nobody was appointed for this task prior to the NEB decision.
