6 Meetings and cnsultatin frm prject inceptin Several meetings with landwners, municipalities, MRCs, the UPA, Indigenus cmmunities and ther stakehlders Mre than 300 km ut f 649 have been mdified fllwing these cnsultatins: 29 pen huses and 8 safety and emergency respnse days mre than 170 meetings with representatives f municipalities, MRCs and the UPA 34 grup meetings and 7,000 individual meetings with landwners lcated n the prjected rute Funded engagement prgrams with 23 Indigenus cmmunities and rganizatins: cmmunicatins and Engagement Funding Agreements with 4 cmmunities nging r cmpleted studies n the use f territry fr traditinal purpses by 5 cmmunities Mre than 250 prject-related meetings with first natin cmmunities and rganizatins 6

7 Envirnmental and Sci-ecnmic Assessment (ESA) Takes int accunt the effects related t cnstructin and peratin Cmplies with the NEB Filing Manual (2014) and the Canadian Envirnmental Assessment Act, 2012 Multidisciplinary exercise invlving lcal specialized cnsultants while taking int accunt envirnmental, sci-ecnmic, technical and safety aspects Prepared n the basis f a significant cllectin f existing data; n specific infrmatin requests; and n a large-scale inventry and cnsultatin with Indigenus cmmunities and ther stakehlders Prpses a range f measures t mitigate the ptential negative effects 7

8 Main issues and cncerns Effects, cnsequences and interventin resulting frm accidents r malfunctins Water crssings Rivière des Outauais Effects n agricultural land use Integrity f frested areas and wetlands Maximizatin f lcal ecnmic benefits Challenges related t the engagement with Indigenus cmmunities and rganizatins 8
