The City Manager
submitted a report from Director of Planning and Building, the Director of
Engineering and the City Solicitor to provide Council with an update on the
scheduled hearing dates, summary of some notable findings from the National
Energy Board (NEB) process and comments on the draft NEB conditions with
respect to the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.
Council discussed the recent NEB
postponement of the Oral Summary Argument hearings. The hearings have been
postponed until further notice as the NEB has decided to strike all evidence
prepared by NEB appointee and former Kinder Morgan consultant, Mr. S. Kelly.
Council shared their concerns with the postponement of the hearings and the
implications of the late exclusion of evidence including: the impacts on the
interveners, the lack of Federal government foresight in the appointment of
Mr. Kelly to the board, the opportune timing of the postponement for the
federal government given the upcoming election, and expressed a general loss
of faith in the processes of the NEB moving forward. Council concluded by
appealing to local MP’s and all federal candidates to raise this issue in the
public forum.
The City Manager
recommended:
1. THAT this report be received
for information purposes.

“WHEREAS the City of Burnaby has
recognized and has demonstrated over the past years, its commitment to the
importance of healthy citizens as the foundation of a healthy, engaged and
economically vibrant community; and
WHEREAS over 3 million Canadians,
including many in our local communities, don’t take medicines prescribed by
their doctors because they can’t afford them; and
WHEREAS Canada is currently the ONLY
country with a national medicare program that does not have a national
pharmacare program; and
WHEREAS the risk of having no
insurance for medicines is high among lower income Canadians which includes the
service industry, precarious working and seasonal workers, like many in the
City of Burnaby; and
WHEREAS studies show that adding a
national pharmacare program to our national health care system would lower
costs to businesses by over $8 billion per year, providing Canadian companies
competitive advantages in international trade; and
WHEREAS recent research confirms that
