Dear Mr. Quan:

Re: Communication and consultation with Metro Vancouver regarding the proposedRoberts Bank Terminal 2 Project

As discussed in our telephone conversation on February 2, 2014, Port Metro Vancouverwelcomes the ongoing input and involvement of Metro Vancouver in regards to thedevelopment of the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project.

Metro Vancouver has already participated in multiple rounds of public consultation for theRoberts Bank Terminal 2 Project. During Project Definition Consultation in fall 2012, RaymondKan represented Metro Vancouver at a small-group meeting in Richmond. In addition, a formalletter was submitted with consultation feedback by Gaëtan Royer. Metro Vancouver wasrepresented by Raymond Kan and Eric Aderneck during Pre-Design Consultation in fall 2013,and again submitted a letter containing staff comments, this time from Delia Laglagaron. Thefeedback received in the small group meetings, as well as the comments in the writtenfeedback was summarized in the respective consultation summary reports, which are availableon our project website (www. portmetrovancouver.com/RBT2).

Air quality specialists representing Metro Vancouver have also participated in an Air QualityScoping Study (AQSS) in January 2013, where they had the opportunity to review and providecomments regarding the data sources and methodology, as well as the spatial and temporalboundaries of the air quality assessment that is being undertaken for the Project. A revisedscope based on comments received was presented at a follow-up meeting in September 2013,and additional comments and feedback was gathered.

Port Metro Vancouver recognizes Metro Vancouver as a key stakeholder and has sought formalengagement, particularly through the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project Local GovernmentElected Roundtable process. In October 2012, Dianne Watts, in her capacity as Surrey Mayorand as Chair of Metro Vancouver’s Port Cities Committee (now referred to as the TransportationCommittee), was invited to participate in the Elected Roundtable.
