7 Pipelines - critical infrastructure

8 Value for Canadians Oil and gas accounts for 2/3 of Canada s energy consumption About 23% of our merchant exports move by pipelines About 2/3 of our natural gas and crude oil production is exported We paid more than $650 million in property taxes in 2013

9 Pipelines operating context Challenges Unprecedented public and stakeholder interest, resistance and mistrust Frustration and misinformation as a result of global challenges: climate change, population and energy needs Heightened public sensitivity Concerns about risk and environmental impact about industrial facilities

10 Challenges

11 Public polling results Q: What is your impression of the pipelines that move oil and gas across Canada? % 39% 39% 37% 32% 19% N E G A T I V E S % 49% 16% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Positive Neutral Negative

12 Trust a critical cornerstone = CREDIBILITY + RELIABILITY + INTIMACY SELF INTEREST CREDIBILITY = Technical competence/expertise RELIABILITY = Perceptions of dependability, consistency and predictability INTIMACY = Closeness and depth of the relationship/mutual understanding SELF-INTEREST = Perceived or real: focus on personal gain/power/glory
