Summary of Indigenous Concerns outside of the scope of the Reconsideration Hearing

As noted in Chapter 5 and Appendix 14 of the MH-052-2018 Report, during the Reconsideration hearing Indigenous communities raised concerns on topics outside of the potential for Project-related marine shipping. Given that the Reconsideration hearing focused on Project-related marine shipping, these issues and concerns were beyond the scope of the issues being considered in the MH-052-2018 hearing, and as a result, they were not captured in that Report. This table provides a summary of the general and specific issues and concerns raised by Indigenous communities through the MH-052-2018 hearing that were beyond the scope of the Reconsideration hearing. The issues and concerns include those raised directly by Indigenous peoples through their participation in the hearing, as well as summaries of Indigenous concerns and interests as recorded by the applicant in its evidence.

Appendix 8 of the MH-052-2018 Report refers to the written and oral submissions by Indigenous intervenors who participated in the hearing. The Board notes that identifying and referring to issues and concerns as contained within the record (as provided in this table) may have resulted in some issues being categorized in a summary manner. Anyone wishing to fully understand the context of the information and evidence provided by Indigenous communities, as well as the applicable responses to these concerns by the applicant, should therefore familiarize themselves with the entire record of the hearing.
