BUILDING CANADA ACT

Order Amending Schedule 1 to the Building Canada Act

P.C. 2026-1047 October 30, 2026

Whereas the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project (the Project) is a container terminal project being advanced by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (the Proponent);

Whereas, on July 16, 2026, the Government of Canada announced that it was launching a process to consider listing the Project as a national interest project under the Building Canada Act (the Act);

Whereas, on August 29, 2026, in accordance with subsection 5(1.1) of the Act, a notice of more than 30 days, which included the name and description of the Project, was caused to be published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, advising that the Governor in Council may amend Schedule 1 of the Act to list the Project as a project of national interest;

Whereas the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, being satisfied that the conditions set out in subsection 5(6.1) of the Act have been met, recommends that the annexed Order under subsection 5(1) of the Act be made;

Whereas, in accordance with subsection 5(7) of the Act, the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, before recommending that the annexed Order under subsection 5(1) of the Act be made, consulted with other federal ministers that that Minister considered appropriate, with the government of British Columbia and with Indigenous peoples whose rights recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 may be adversely affected by the carrying out of the Project;

Whereas the Governor in Council, in deciding whether to make an order under subsection 5(1) of the Act to add the name of the Project and a detailed description of it, including the location where it is to be carried out, to Schedule 1 of the Act, has considered the factors that the Governor in Council considers relevant, including those factors set out in subsection 5(6) of the Act, and has taken into account the concerns identified during consultations between the Crown and Indigenous peoples;

Whereas the Governor in Council has determined that the Project would strengthen Canada’s autonomy, resilience and security by supporting import diversification, improving operations at the Port of Vancouver to contribute to Canada’s export diversification agenda and increasing supply chain resiliency;

Whereas the Governor in Council has determined that the Project is expected to provide economic benefits to Canada, including through direct and indirect increases to gross domestic product and employment and the alleviation of increased shipping costs related to port congestion;

Whereas the Governor in Council has determined that, as a result of the experience of the Proponent, as well as the advanced stage of development of the Project, the Project has a high likelihood of being completed successfully;

Whereas the Governor in Council is satisfied that the consultation process between the Crown and Indigenous peoples provided meaningful dialogue, and that Canada has fulfilled the duty to consult, consistent with the honour of the Crown, in relation to the proposed amendment to add the Project to the list of national interest projects set out in Schedule 1 to the Act;

Whereas the Governor in Council has considered the report of the Project’s environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012, which found that overall activity related to the Project, including increased underwater noise, destruction of critical habitat and reduced Chinook salmon prey availability, is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, including on the Northeast Pacific Killer Whale southern resident population (Southern Resident Killer Whale), an endangered species listed in Part 2 to Schedule 1 to the Species at Risk Act;

Whereas the Governor in Council issued Order in Council P.C. 2023-330 of April 19, 2023, in which the Governor in Council decided, under subsection 52(4) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012, that the significant adverse environmental effects that Project is likely to cause were justified in the circumstances and on April 20, 2023, the Minister of Environment issued a decision statement under section 54 of that Act, with legally binding conditions with which the Proponent must comply over the duration of the Project;

Whereas the Governor in Council has considered the measures undertaken and planned by the Government of Canada to support the protection and recovery of the Southern Resident Killer Whale — including measures to address threats associated with underwater noise, vessel disturbance and prey availability — including under the Whales Initiative, the Oceans Protection Plan and annual management measures to protect Southern Resident Killer Whales;

And whereas, despite the adverse impacts on marine and terrestrial environments that the Project is likely to cause, and having considered the potential impacts on Indigenous rights and interests, the potential for those adverse impacts to be mitigated by project conditions, broader Government programs and the Proponent’s commitment to compensate for the loss of habitat — including on Chinook salmon habitat —, and the anticipated benefits of the Project for Canada’s trade capacity, supply chain resilience and economic security, the Governor in Council has determined that the benefits of the Project outweigh its potential adverse effects and that it is in the national interest for the Project to proceed;

Therefore, Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, being of the opinion that the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project is in the national interest, on the recommendation of the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada, makes the annexed Order Amending Schedule 1 to the Building Canada Act under subsection 5(1) of the Building Canada Act.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order.)

Proposal

On July 16, 2026, the Government of Canada announced referral of the Port of Vancouver Gateway Strategy to the Major Projects Office (MPO). The Government announcement specifically noted that the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project (the Project) was being referred to the MPO for potential listing as a project of national interest under the Building Canada Act (the Act) to provide regulatory certainty and future financial success. The Port of Vancouver (the Port) is Canada’s largest and most cargo-diverse port, moving $1 billion in goods every day and connecting Canada to 170 markets.

The Project is a proposed three-berth container terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, British Columbia, that would increase the Port’s container capacity by approximately 50% and prevent between $800 and $900 million in annual costs associated with port congestion.

Order

The Governor in Council (GIC), pursuant to subsection 5(1) of the Act and on the recommendation of the Minister responsible under the Act, the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada — the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc (the responsible Minister) — amends Schedule 1 of the Act to add the Project as a national interest project, as specified in the Order in Council to which this Explanatory Note is appended.

Objective

The objective of this Order in Council is to enable the Project’s timely development by bringing it within the regulatory framework of the Act, based on the GIC’s determination that the Project is in Canada’s national interest and that the Act thus supplies an appropriate framework to structure remaining applicable federal regulatory authorizations, ensure appropriate environmental safeguards, and meet Canada’s constitutional obligations to Indigenous peoples.

Background

Building Canada Act context

The Act was enacted by Parliament on June 26, 2025, to provide a simplified, direct, timely and comprehensive process to secure federal regulatory authorization for projects determined to be of vital interest to Canada.

The legislation provides Canada with a means to confront the reality that nation-building natural resource and infrastructure projects have long faced complicated, cumbersome and time-consuming federal regulatory processes. This has fostered uncertainty and deterred proponents from pursuing projects that could render vital social and economic benefits to Canada. The federal regulatory system for major projects has involved numerous authorizations and permitting decisions distributed among multiple federal agencies and departments, each requiring separate applications from project proponents, and entailing multiple, often disjointed processes of consultation with Indigenous communities. The duration and complexity of this system can delay federal authorization of worthy project proposals for years and systemically limit the willingness of proponents to bring forward projects that complement Canada’s economic growth, security, and prosperity. Proponents are required to make large investments in project development, and to produce the detailed information required for project applications, without any certainty about whether the project would be approved until the end of these lengthy and complex processes.

While this problem was already acute, it became pressing following the rupture of prior stable forms of international economic integration and trade brought about by the sudden change in policy orientation of the United States (U.S.), Canada’s largest trading partner and the market for the majority of Canadian exports. Canada faces new geopolitical circumstances in which overreliance on trade and economic integration with a single dominant power threatens to undermine national sovereignty. Trade-exposed sectors and regions have already faced significant adverse impacts as a result of these changes, and the accompanying uncertainty has weighed on Canada’s economy, impacted Canadian workers, and placed livelihoods at risk.

A significant expansion of Canada’s domestic port capacity is necessary to diversify trade. Approximately 80% of Canada’s non-U.S. trade is carried by vessel, and sufficient port capacity does not exist to double non-U.S. exports by 2035. Continued inaction on port expansion could eventually force Canadian importers and exporters to utilize U.S. ports — a dependency that is untenable in the current geopolitical circumstances. Port expansion is thus integral to ensuring Canadian sovereignty and control over key economic linkages to the rest of the world.

To preserve its sovereignty and quality of life, Canada must act ambitiously to grow domestic economic resources and strengthen access to more diverse trade and investment partners. Securing confidence in Canada’s ability to develop major natural resource and infrastructure projects is foundational.

Framework and objectives

The Act provides a means to advance Canada’s ability to develop major natural resource and infrastructure projects. It enables the GIC to determine whether certain projects are of such importance to Canada that they warrant immediate confidence in the approval of applicable federal permits and authorizations, shifting Canada’s regulatory focus from “whether” a project should proceed to “how” it should proceed.

This reorientation of federal decision-making occurs within the framework of Canada’s respect for Aboriginal and treaty rights as recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982; its duty to consult with Indigenous peoples; its commitment to reconciliation; and its respect for the rights set out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples. Crown-Indigenous consultation is explicitly required to inform key decisions taken under the Act, including decisions to list national interest projects. These decisions can be taken only after Canada has met its duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate Indigenous peoples whose Aboriginal and treaty rights may be adversely affected by the carrying out of the projects to which the decisions relate.

The reorientation of federal decision-making itself is achieved in two steps.

First, the GIC’s decision to list a national interest project under Schedule 1 of the Act (a listing decision) results in immediate, deemed fulfillment of substantive prerequisites to the release of federal permits and authorizations listed in Schedule 2 of the Act.

Second, if a project is added to Schedule 1, the Act enables diffuse federal regulatory processes to be consolidated in support of a single, omnibus authorization from the Minister responsible under the Act. This omnibus authorization (the Conditions Document) defines the regulatory conditions under which project construction and operation can occur. These conditions are developed based on further assessment and consultation with Indigenous communities about the project’s impacts. The consolidation of authorizations under a single framework streamlines the process for proponents, and provides a better coordinated process of consultation with Indigenous communities, building on the consultation undertaken prior to a listing decision. Any federal regulatory authorizations a project may have received prior to listing under the Act would remain valid, such that the framework under the Act would apply to consolidate all future authorizations.

The Act also recognizes a commitment to working in partnership with Indigenous peoples and envisages opportunities for Indigenous peoples to participate in the advancement of major projects as proponents, stakeholders, and investors. The Act identifies the extent to which a project can advance the interests of Indigenous peoples as one of the key factors relevant to the GIC’s determination of whether a project is in the national interest.

Finally, the Act reflects Canada’s commitment to safeguard the natural environment — including through the mitigation of potential effects of project development on critical species habitats, and marine and terrestrial ecosystems — and to meet the challenges of climate change.

The MPO, as a special operating agency within Canada’s Privy Council Office, supports the responsible Minister in the administration of the Act.

Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project

The Project is a proposed container terminal project at the Port in Delta, British Columbia, that would increase the Port’s container capacity by approximately 50%. The Project would be comprised of the following major components:

Proponent

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) is a statutory corporation under the Canada Marine Act that operates at arm’s-length from the federal government. The VFPA is responsible for the shared stewardship of the lands and waters that make up the Port.

The Project would be located on federal land managed by the VFPA and adjacent to the existing Roberts Bank terminals (Deltaport Terminal and Westshore Terminals), the city of Delta, Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) lands, and the community of Tsawwassen.

Regulatory history

The Project has undergone a series of regulatory reviews across several years, including a rigorous and extensive federal environmental assessment process.

On September 13, 2013, the VFPA submitted a Project description to the former Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, which determined that an environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012) was required. The former Minister of the Environment referred the environmental assessment to a Federal Review Panel, which submitted its assessment report to the former Minister of the Environment on March 27, 2020. The Federal Review Panel concluded that the Project is likely to result in significant adverse environmental effects, including adverse effects on Chinook salmon, the Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW), Dungeness crab, bird species, wetlands and wetland functions, current use of land and resources for traditional purposes and cultural heritage of Indigenous Nations, as well as other significant adverse cumulative effects.

On April 19, 2023, the GIC decided that the significant adverse environmental effects likely to be caused by the Project were justified in the circumstances, having considered the economic need for the Project, including its contribution to improving supply chain resilience; its potential role in international trade and the local, regional and national economic benefits it would create; the measures that would be taken to avoid or lessen the adverse effects on wildlife species; and the fact that potential impacts on the interests of Indigenous peoples, including established and asserted Aboriginal and treaty rights identified in the consultation process, had been appropriately accommodated. This determination allows the Project to proceed, subject to further permitting requirements. The former Minister of the Environment established a series of conditions that the VFPA must implement during construction and operations (the Decision Statement).

On September 28, 2023, the British Columbia Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure issued a provincial certificate to the VFPA for the Project, which represented the provincial approval for the Project. The provincial certificate included additional conditions.

On October 28, 2024, the VFPA submitted an application to Fisheries and Oceans Canada for a Fisheries Act authorization for the Project, which would also serve as a permit under the Species at Risk Act. In June 2025, Fisheries and Oceans Canada determined that the application was complete. A decision on the authorization has not yet been made.

In addition to the Fisheries Act authorization, the Project requires an authorization under the Canada Marine Act, and future authorizations could arise throughout construction.

Since 2016, the Government of Canada has invested in a series of regional measures and initiatives to support efforts to protect local species and marine mammals on the West Coast, including SRKW and Chinook salmon. To date, the Government of Canada has invested $3.2 billion in new systems, research, and personnel to protect oceans and marine life. These investments include a recent $163.8 million renewal of the Whales Initiative; an additional $95 million plus $16.5 million ongoing specifically for SRKW protections; $410 million for a five-year period for the renewal of the Pacific Salmon Strategy; and a total of $1.2 billion for the recent Oceans Protection Plan renewal, including over $100 million for measures that will protect whales. The Government of Canada also recently established a Conservation Agreement with BC Ferries that aims to reduce underwater radiated noise from BC Ferries vessels in the SRKW critical habitat by 50% by 2036. Further, a proposed interim underwater noise objective establishing 2023 underwater noise levels as a measurable baseline will support the development and implementation of future mandatory and voluntary actions that support SRKW survival and recovery.

Basis for the Governor in Council’s determination

Subsection 5(6) of the Act provides that, when making a listing decision, the GIC may consider any factor that it considers relevant, including the extent to which a project can

Critically, the GIC’s decision-making is informed by Crown-Indigenous consultation completed by the responsible Minister pursuant to subsection 5(7) of the Act and grounded in the honour of the Crown, and which has constitutional status through section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. It is also informed by consultation with the Government of British Columbia; by the Minister having consulted with other ministerial colleagues as he considers appropriate; and by the views of Canadians, including those who responded to the publication of the Government’s Notice of a potential listing decision in the Canada Gazette. The GIC has also taken account of the Project’s extensive regulatory history and of the 2023 GIC determination that the Project’s adverse effects were justified in the circumstances.

The following reflects the GIC’s assessment of the merit in listing the Project. As elaborated in the sections below, the GIC is of the view that

Analysis of national interest factors

1. Strengthens Canada’s autonomy, resilience, and security

The GIC has concluded that the Project presents an exceptional opportunity to strengthen Canada’s autonomy, resilience, and security.

The Government of Canada has prioritized efforts to double non-U.S. exports by 2035 and reduce reliance on U.S. ports. The Port is Canada’s largest port, and today one-third of Canada’s non-U.S. trade by value moves through the Port. The Port will be the primary enabler for Canada to reach its trade diversification goals, offering a unique and competitive value proposition compared to other Canadian ports. The Port is also attractive for importers and exporters because of its connection to three existing Class 1 railways, access to a large local market, and favourable geography. A lack of industrial land constrains expansion at the Port — a challenge the Project will help address through the construction of 168 ha of new land.

The Project will position the Port as the choice gateway for trade to the Indo-Pacific region and maintain the Port’s competitive position relative to U.S. ports. Trade diversification requires the Port’s expansion to facilitate trade in a range of commodities. The Project will contribute by expanding container capacity and enabling trade growth for specific types of goods suitable for containerization (e.g. household goods, construction materials, and industrial, auto and vehicle parts). The Project is expected to attract container traffic to Roberts Bank, which faces less rail congestion than other terminals at the Port, including those accessed through the Vancouver inner harbour. This would free up rail capacity for use by bulk exporters (e.g. grain and potash) in other areas of the Port.

The Project is expected to create nationwide benefits. The Port is the principal container port serving British Columbia, and it also facilitates the transportation of goods throughout Canada, with many imported containers transiting through to the Prairie provinces, Ontario, and Quebec. Many businesses across Canada, such as those in the forestry and agricultural industries, depend on the Port for containerized export capacity. Overall, the Port handles approximately half of Canada’s annual import and export containers, and the Project would serve Canadians across the country, including by improving the competitiveness of businesses that rely on the container supply chain.

The Project would increase the Port’s resiliency by shortening the time necessary to clear backlogs. Since 2020, the Port has experienced multiple significant disruptions to operations, including fires, floods, and labour disruptions. For example, in November 2021, flooding in British Columbia hindered the movement of goods estimated to be more than $170 million per day due to lost train capacity, increased congestion, and lost output. During disruptions, terminals fill with containers, and vessels must go to anchor and wait for space to load and unload goods. The Project would provide more container storage capacity to allow vessels to unload during a disruption, which would reduce anchorage use. The Project would also support more rapid normalization of export and import operations following future unforeseen disruptions, by modernizing key infrastructure and logistics.

The Project’s capacity to strengthen Canada’s autonomy, resilience, and security was a key topic on which Canadians provided input in response to the publication of the Government’s notice in the Canada Gazette. Canadians supportive of the Project emphasized the need for expanded container capacity, citing Canada’s goal of doubling exports to non-U.S. markets by 2035. Supportive submissions frequently emphasized the importance of more container capacity to allow for diversification to overseas export markets and reduce dependence on the United States.

Indigenous communities consulted by MPO expressed a range of perspectives regarding the Project’s potential to strengthen Canada’s autonomy, resilience, and security. Several communities recognized that the Project would likely contribute to Canada’s trade diversification objectives, which would improve Canada’s autonomy. Many Indigenous communities noted that environmental resilience is an important factor to consider in listing the Project, as environmental impacts can affect food and community resilience. One Indigenous community stated that a Canadian-owned terminal operator should be selected to operate the Project.

Considering all of the foregoing, the GIC has determined that the Project would directly support import diversification, which increases the number of viable suppliers for Canadian consumers and industry. The Project’s contributions to improve the overall operations at the Port are expected to improve the competitiveness of Canadian bulk exports to the Indo-Pacific region and, therefore, contribute to Canada’s export diversification agenda. The Project would also help make Canada’s supply chain more resilient to supply chain disruption.

2. Provides economic or other benefits to Canada

The GIC has concluded that the Project would generate significant material economic benefits through project construction and on- and off-terminal operations through the decongestion of the container supply chain. Forecasts and analysis demonstrate the Project will generate substantial benefits, including by contributing to significant increases in gross domestic product (GDP) and employment.

The Port is already facing structural congestion, and performance on key indicators, such as shipping costs and delivery time, has deteriorated over the past decade. The Project would provide necessary container capacity to prevent the worsening of congestion of Canada’s supply chain. The Port is forecast to reach its maximum marine container-handling capacity in the 2030s. Forecast capacity constraints were a reason for the GIC’s 2023 determination that the Project’s adverse effects were justified, pursuant to CEAA 2012. The failure to build additional and sufficient capacity would lead to increased shipping costs and congestion and Canadians could eventually begin to depend on U.S. ports for container imports. Beginning as soon as 2031, Canadians would be expected to pay an additional $800 to $900 million per year in higher shipping costs due to insufficient capacity at the Port. When the Project is completed, which is currently estimated to be 2035, Canadians would no longer bear these additional costs, as it would provide an additional 2.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units of container capacity. This represents sufficient capacity to handle approximately $100 billion worth of goods annually.

The Project would support Canada’s trade diversification goals. The successful implementation of the Project combined with other investments in Canada’s supply chains, such as in rail networks and distribution centres, could lower the cost to import containers by 25% and reduce delivery times from Vancouver to Toronto by 17%. In total, these benefits could save Canadians approximately $1 billion in shipping-related costs annually. These benefits cannot be realized without more container capacity, which the Project would provide. The Project, along with broader federal initiatives such as the Port of Vancouver Gateway Strategy, would help create the conditions for supporting investments to proceed, because proponents of supporting projects will have confidence that the Port will have sufficient container capacity.

The Project is expected to make Canada’s transportation sector more productive through the application of new technologies, such as more efficient container-handling equipment. The Project also has the potential to directly support high productivity Canadian industries exporting products in containers, such as manufacturing, crop production, and pulp and paper milling.

The Project shows potential for direct material economic benefits through expanded construction and operational activities. The Project is expected to contribute $3 billion annually to Canada’s GDP and an estimated 17 000 jobs in the supply chain during operations. Throughout the construction period, the Project is expected to create thousands of jobs and contribute billions of dollars to GDP. The Project is expected to generate $631 million in annual tax revenue for federal, provincial, and municipal governments, creating significant fiscal impacts from the increased trade volume through the Port.

The Project’s economic potential was noted as a positive area of feedback among many Canadians who responded to the publication of the Government’s notice in the Canada Gazette. Supporters highlighted employment opportunities and the Project’s expected contributions to broader economic growth across Canada. Those opposed to listing questioned the economic benefits, and how GDP and job growth projections associated with the Project were determined.

Indigenous communities consulted by MPO expressed a range of perspectives regarding the extent to which the Project would provide economic or other benefits to Canada. Many communities assessed that the Project would likely create economic benefits for Canada through the expansion of container capacity. At the same time, many of these communities noted that economic benefits should be considered alongside potential environmental impacts and associated costs. One submission highlighted key local industries, such as fishing and tourism, which depend upon a clean environment. Several communities expressed concern that economic opportunities from the Project would not materialize for Indigenous people.

Overall, the GIC has concluded that the Project is expected to provide material economic and other benefits to Canada including through direct and indirect increases to GDP and job creation in the construction and transportation sectors. Most importantly, the Project would prevent expected container capacity congestion in the 2030s, which, without further intervention, would increase shipping costs and could eventually force Canadian importers to rely on U.S. ports.

3. Has a high likelihood of successful execution

The GIC has concluded that the Project has a high likelihood of successful execution.

The VFPA brings extensive experience leading major projects and working with the private sector, having successfully delivered dozens of infrastructure projects over the last decade. For example, the VFPA worked to expand Deltaport (completed in 2010) and Centerm Terminal (completed in 2023). These examples demonstrate relevant experience and organizational capability for the successful construction of the Project.

The VFPA has completed extensive development work for the Project over two decades, including multiple rounds of market sounding and engineering work, such as project plans, schedules, and other key documents.

On July 13, 2026, the VFPA announced the selection of TerraMarine as the preferred construction partner for the Project, following a competitive procurement process. TerraMarine is a consortium of experienced builders and engineers that collectively bring extensive expertise in large scale port, marine and transportation infrastructure projects. The members of TerraMarine successfully delivered port projects in Canada and internationally. The project delivery model includes a progressive-design build approach, staged design and construction, a world-class contractor with global experience, a collaborative approach to design and delivery and established target price mechanism to ensure accurate project costs and schedule.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) executed by the VFPA and Global Container Terminals (GCT) on April 21, 2026, reflects a shared commitment to strengthen Canada’s trade infrastructure by exploring opportunities for partnership to deliver the Project in a coordinated, efficient, and commercially viable manner. As a majority Canadian-owned operator with over a century of experience operating container terminals and existing operations at nearby Deltaport, GCT would provide unique benefits to a partnership with VFPA. While the MOU does not guarantee that GCT will operate the Project, the GIC has concluded that the VFPA’s early engagement with GCT, a credible terminal operator, increases the likelihood of successful execution.

Financing is another key consideration in relation to executability. The Project’s estimated capital cost is $5.9 billion, excluding financing costs. The VFPA has a strong credit profile and access to capital markets, which allows it to achieve an optimized financing plan. MPO and the VFPA continue to work with other federal partners to conclude a financing arrangement in order to reach a final investment decision (FID) in a timely manner. Listing the Project under the Act provides the necessary regulatory certainty to finalize project design, which is required to finalize financing structure and credit agreements.

Indigenous communities consulted by MPO expressed a range of concerns related to project execution. While several Indigenous communities expressed confidence that the VFPA could likely deliver on the Project, these views were sometimes qualified with the observation that key elements of project development are still outstanding, such as securing financing and finalizing design. Many Indigenous communities noted their belief that successful execution requires sustained engagement and consultation with Indigenous peoples throughout construction.

In response to the publication of the Government’s notice in the Canada Gazette, many supportive comments pointed to the extensive delays the Project has faced over the past decade, and how construction has yet to begin despite a lengthy federal environmental assessment. Listing the Project in the national interest was seen as a positive step that would help ensure the Project is able to secure any remaining approvals and proceed to construction.

Based on the foregoing, the GIC has concluded that the Project has a high likelihood of successful execution. This is supported by the experience of the Proponent and the construction partner, the advanced stage of project development, and the viable path towards a FID. Additionally, the GIC is satisfied that listing the Project would increase the chances of successful execution, as the Act would enable the coordination of the remaining and future regulatory steps, the integration of continued consultation with Indigenous communities, and the issuance of a Conditions Document that considers all factors collectively.

4. Advances the interests of Indigenous peoples

The GIC has concluded that the Project advances the interests of Indigenous peoples.

Indigenous communities potentially impacted by project construction or operations have been engaging with the VFPA and the Government of Canada for over 13 years on the Project. MPO has continued an ongoing dialogue with these communities about the Project’s potential effects on the environment and other important matters, and about strategic and economic opportunities associated with the Project.

During the environmental assessment process, the Government of Canada consulted and engaged with 52 potentially impacted Indigenous communities. The Decision Statement issued by the former Minister of the Environment includes a series of conditions for the purposes of avoiding, mitigating, and offsetting potential adverse effects on the environment and on Aboriginal and treaty rights. Accommodations intended to address concerns relating to the Project’s potential adverse impacts on Aboriginal and treaty rights were provided through both Proponent and federally led mitigation measures and initiatives.

The VFPA has signed mutual benefit agreements (MBAs) with 27 Indigenous communities. The VFPA has entered into Relationship Agreements with Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) and Musqueam Indian Band (MIB), which create frameworks for long-term meaningful relationships. The VFPA and TFN also signed an Environmental Co-Management Agreement specific to the Project, which provides a framework to support ongoing collaboration with a focus on TFN environmental and community priorities.

To supplement proponent accommodations, the Government of Canada is supporting the Å¡xÊ·kÊ·ecxÉ™nÉ™m stewardship framework and the establishment of a Stewardship Committee. More than 20 Indigenous communities are to be engaged in the follow-up and monitoring program.

Since the completion of the federal environmental assessment in 2023, the VFPA has been meeting regularly with Indigenous communities to plan and discuss the implementation of key environmental management plans and environmental requirements of the Project. This included ongoing engagement and consultation regarding potential project effects on fish and fish habitat and on species at risk, which informed the VFPA’s Fisheries Act authorization application.

Consistent with the Decision Statement, which sets out requirements for an Indigenous Training, Employment and Procurement Plan, the VFPA is collaborating closely with Indigenous communities with respect to project-related opportunities, including employment, training, and procurement opportunities. Related to this, the VFPA has established a $5.5 million Indigenous Legacy Benefit Fund to support communities. The VFPA and Fisheries and Oceans Canada are also working collaboratively with affected Indigenous communities to test new technologies that will support crab harvesting opportunities at Roberts Bank. These initiatives would be an integral part of the Project.

Many comments were received on the Project’s potential to advance the interests of Indigenous peoples, following publication of the Government’s notice in the Canada Gazette. Concerns were raised about whether listing under the Act was compatible with Canada’s constitutional obligations toward Indigenous peoples, and with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Comments emphasized the importance of upholding the rights of Indigenous peoples and ensuring that Indigenous communities have a chance to participate in the decision-making process. Additional details regarding Canada’s consultation with Indigenous peoples are provided under a separate heading, below.

On balance, the GIC has concluded that the Project advances the interests of Indigenous peoples, given that many impacted Indigenous communities have consented to the Project and stand to receive economic benefits if the Project proceeds. The GIC also notes that the Project is subject to extensive environmental conditions and accommodation measures. The Government recognizes that Indigenous communities view economic benefits as only one factor that informed their consent — environmental protections through project conditions were also important. The Government of Canada remains committed to ensuring that the Proponent maintains high environmental standards for the Project throughout construction and operations.

5. Contributes to clean growth and to meeting Canada’s climate change objectives

The GIC has considered potential impacts of the Project on clean growth and on Canada’s climate objectives.

During operations, the Project would implement several technologies that contribute to reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to similar projects. While operations-related GHG emission will benefit from British Columbia’s low carbon electrical grid, the Project’s utilization of electric equipment and provision of electric shore power will further leverage this advantage, and the Project is expected to have approximately 25% lower emissions than comparable terminals in the area.

The Project is subject to federal and provincial conditions related to greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants, including

Although the VFPA has committed to implementing many economically feasible measures to reduce GHG emissions, the Federal Review Panel found in 2020 that the Project would likely lead to a small increase in emissions relative to regional sources.

The Project is expected to increase the overall efficiency of Canada’s transportation network, which should reduce delivery delays and congestion. This could have second-order benefits for overall Canadian carbon emissions by reducing the idling of transportation equipment and shortening delivery distances by allowing more cargo to take the most direct routes.

Submissions from many Indigenous communities reflected significant uncertainty regarding whether the Project would contribute to clean growth and to Canada’s climate change objectives. No Indigenous community viewed the Project as furthering Canada’s climate objectives, although some acknowledged that the Project would have a lower carbon footprint than comparable container terminals at the Port. Indigenous communities noted the Project’s potential impacts on the local environment as a relevant consideration related to climate change.

The GIC has carefully weighed these considerations and determined that they do not displace the Project’s strong alignment with Canada’s national interest. Prioritization of the Project is appropriate in the present circumstances when accounting for Canada’s broader, integrated efforts to address climate change. This includes continued efforts to achieve net-zero emissions while mobilizing investment, accelerating innovation and building the infrastructure and industrial capacity needed to support a competitive, resilient and low-carbon economy that contributes to Canada’s strategic autonomy.

6. Marine impacts

In addition to the five national interest factors explicitly contemplated in the Act, the GIC has devoted significant attention to the potential effects of the Project on marine ecosystems, including on SRKW and Chinook salmon.

The GIC recognizes that SRKW have been listed as endangered under the Species at Risk Act since 2003. They are an iconic species to Canada’s Pacific coast and hold deep cultural significance for Indigenous peoples and coastal communities in British Columbia. In 2018, it was determined that SRKW are facing imminent threats to their survival and recovery, and in 2024, an updated imminent threat assessment led to the same determination. According to the text-center for Whale Research, as of October 2026, there are 76 SRKW remaining, an increase of two from the 74 SRKW reported in 2025. The main threats to the species include reduced prey availability (Chinook salmon), underwater vessel noise and physical disturbances, and environmental contaminants. These pressures are interconnected and cumulative in nature, arising primarily from human activities in the marine and coastal environment, and together continue to limit the population’s ability to recover and grow.

The Project would cause significant adverse effects to SRKW, including reduced Chinook salmon prey availability, destruction of critical habitat, and an increase in underwater noise during construction and operations, which disrupts the hunting and communication of SRKW. The VFPA has proposed avoidance, mitigation and offsetting measures to help address these effects on SRKW.

Conditions in the Decision Statement require the VFPA to mitigate adverse environmental effects, including measures to mitigate underwater noise and to protect SRKW. This includes stopping work during construction when marine mammals, such as SRKW, are near the work site. During operations, requirements include monitoring noise levels to remain at or below a certain baseline level, implementing procedures to delay departures of container vessels, and reducing underwater noise during berthing activities when SRKW are present in the project area. Additionally, since the GIC decision in 2023, the VFPA has revised its fish habitat offsetting plan and committed to 102 ha of habitat offsetting.

The GIC has considered recent and historical Government of Canada investments and measures to address the impacts of underwater noise as noted above. The Spring Economic Update 2026 included $258 million over five years to renew and enhance funding for the protection of whales and their habitats through the Whales Initiative, including dedicated enhanced protections for SRKW to further mitigate key threats to the species, such as underwater noise, prey availability, and contaminants. Additionally, the Conservation Agreement with BC Ferries to aim to reduce underwater radiated noise from BC Ferries vessels in SRKW critical habitat by 50% by 2036 would be a significant reduction when considering BC Ferries’ current contribution to noise levels in SRKW’s critical habitat.

Other important measures include a proposed interim underwater noise objective supported by a new regional noise monitoring and management program to adaptively address underwater noise with the goal of reducing impacts on SRKW, near real-time whale detection systems to avoid harm to SRKW in a targeted way while minimizing impacts to marine industry, and exploring expanded partnerships with industry to further reduce noise and disturbance, including through slowdowns, which have been assessed to mitigate noise in areas of the Salish Sea. These efforts are supported by dedicated investments to maintain and support the infrastructure and expertise required to measure underwater noise at dedicated monitoring stations and to model the ambient underwater noise over larger areas of the Salish Sea, notably in fishing areas. New investments have been made in the systematic use of visual, acoustic, and infrared detections to provide detections of SRKW to enable dynamic management measures. Measures are informed by lessons learned, existing and new science and information, and feedback from Indigenous communities and organizations, stakeholders and the public.

The Government of Canada is also taking action to protect and restore critical habitats. This includes the renewal of the Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative (PSSI) for a five-year period to support the restoration of vulnerable wild Pacific salmon populations. The renewed PSSI will build on the successes achieved since the initiative was first announced in 2021, enabling continued collaboration with Indigenous peoples, territorial governments, harvesters, stewardship partners, environmental organizations, academia, and communities to protect and restore Pacific salmon and their habitat. This investment further complements the Government of Canada’s broad suite of measures to protect SRKW, including supporting Chinook salmon.

The renewal of existing measures in the Oceans Protection Plan and the introduction of new measures through recent Government of Canada investments are intended to further strengthen ocean conservation. This includes the development of a new program for marine mammal spill response to ensure timely, effective protection of marine mammals and ecosystem recovery in the event of spill incidents, as well as expanded ocean noise science and management across Canada’s oceans, including in the Salish Sea.

Indigenous communities expressed concerns regarding the cumulative effects of industrial development on the Fraser River Estuary and local marine species. While the Project conditions were often acknowledged, many Indigenous communities believe the Project would increase underwater noise, marine contamination, and shoreline erosion and impact Indigenous communities’ ability to exercise their rights. The GIC has considered these concerns in the context of ongoing efforts to protect critical species habitats, which have been implemented in support of SRKW recovery since 2018. Fisheries and Oceans and Transport Canada have worked with Indigenous partners, the VFPA, and industry to implement protections in key SRKW migration and foraging areas.

Impacts to marine environments were key concerns raised in many submissions made following the publication of the Government’s notice in the Canada Gazette. Public comments opposed to listing focused on the cumulative effects of the Project on an already stressed ecosystem, pointing specifically to the endangered SRKW and exacerbation of threats from increased vessel traffic associated with the Project. Commenters were also opposed to the destruction of Chinook salmon habitat in the Fraser River estuary and expressed concerns that construction of the terminal would further reduce prey availability for SRKW. The GIC has considered these concerns in its decision.

The GIC has carefully weighed these considerations alongside the economic and sovereignty benefits of the Project, in concert with the described measures and Government initiatives, aimed at protecting the SRKW and other marine species and habitat, and is satisfied that the Project strongly aligns with Canada’s national interest such that its prioritization is justified.

Crown-Indigenous consultation

1. Overview

Canada’s duty to consult with Indigenous communities on the possibility of listing a project, which is assigned to the responsible Minister under subsection 5(7) of the Act, focuses on ensuring that the GIC is informed of and accounts for the potential impacts of a listing decision on the Aboriginal and treaty rights of Indigenous communities. This involves engaging in a meaningful two-way dialogue with Indigenous communities about how they may be affected by a federal decision to give certainty that a project will proceed, recognizing that those same communities will be involved in ongoing consultation to determine final regulatory conditions for construction and operation of the Project. In the particular circumstances of this Project, consultation has also involved recognizing and building meaningfully from past consultation with Indigenous communities undertaken as part of the federal environmental assessment process.

The GIC has concluded that the listing of the Project under the Act will not, in itself, result in any adverse impacts to recognized and asserted Aboriginal and treaty rights that have not been mitigated or accommodated, as appropriate, through the federal environmental assessment process, or that cannot be effectively mitigated or accommodated, as appropriate, through the further, post-listing regulatory process in which Indigenous communities will be consulted. The GIC is satisfied that the pre- and post-listing regulatory process and attendant duty of consultation have and will ensure that the final release of federal permits and authorizations will be consistent with the honour of the Crown, and that the Project as a whole has been and will continue to be informed by meaningful consultation at each point of decision-making.

In reaching this determination, the GIC has taken account of the consultation process completed with Indigenous peoples and informed by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and of meaningful two-way dialogue on issues raised in that consultation, as summarized below.

2. Consultation process

The consultation process with Indigenous communities was informed by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and by the objective of free, prior and informed consent. The process sought to reach mutually acceptable arrangements with communities, with the aim of seeking consent or achieving consensus, where possible.

On July 17, 2026, on behalf of the responsible Minister, MPO initiated consultation with potentially impacted Indigenous communities regarding the potential listing of the Project. Consultation was undertaken between July 17 and October 19, 2026. The consultation sought to understand Indigenous perspectives regarding the listing of the Project under the Act and the factors supporting a listing decision, including how the Project may advance the interests of Indigenous peoples. More specifically, consultation was carried out with a view to understanding how a listing decision could affect recognized or asserted Aboriginal and treaty rights, and to consider whether and how potential impacts could be appropriately addressed.

MPO identified and consulted with 52 potentially impacted Indigenous communities. The consultation list was informed by the previously conducted environmental assessment process and updated Indigenous consultation information validated through available information sources across federal agencies, including Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada.

On July 17, 2026, MPO issued notification letters advising potentially impacted Indigenous communities that Canada was considering whether to list the Project under the Act. On July 22, 2026, MPO distributed a consultation package containing information about the Project, guidance on available participant funding, consultation questions related to national interest factors, information about the future consultation and conditions development processes that would follow a positive listing decision, and instructions for providing written submissions.

On August 6, 2026, a virtual information session was held to provide an overview of MPO’s rationale for the proposed listing of the Project with respect to the national interest factors set out in the Act, the potential implications of the proposed listing, as well as information related to the Act and the listing consultation process. A follow-up technical session held on September 10, 2026, provided a second opportunity for Indigenous communities to receive this same information about the proposed listing. Both sessions provided opportunities for representatives to ask questions about the process, and for the MPO to provide answers immediately during each session or through follow-up communications after each session.

To support informed participation, on September 21, 2026, MPO provided Indigenous communities with its preliminary assessment of the Project in relation to national interest factors specified in the Act.

Written submissions were requested by October 1, 2026. MPO received 28 written submissions from consulted Indigenous communities as of October 16, 2026. MPO reviewed and developed initial Crown responses to matters that had been raised by Indigenous communities, in meetings or through written submissions. On October 8 and 9, 2026, MPO provided participating Indigenous communities with draft community consultation summaries and initial Crown responses for their review and validation and invited communities to identify any inaccuracies, omissions, or clarifications to ensure that concerns, interests, and perspectives were accurately reflected in the consultation record and understood by Canada. MPO continued to be open to dialogue with Indigenous communities, including consideration of follow-up information, through to October 19, 2026, to help inform the GIC’s determination.

In addition to the two information technical sessions, between July 17, 2026, and October 1, 2026, MPO held over 28 meetings with representatives of over 16 Indigenous communities and organizations. Meetings were held with communities identified on the consultation list and with additional Indigenous communities that requested information regarding the Project.

To facilitate the consultation process, MPO employed multiple consultation mechanisms as described above, including

Senior MPO officials participated directly in consultation activities and made themselves available to meet with communities when requested. Those officials remained available throughout the consultation period to provide the best available information, answer questions, and discuss concerns raised by communities.

Participant funding was made available to eligible Indigenous communities to support the review of Project information, participation in consultation activities, community engagement, technical review, and preparation of submissions. As of October 7, 2026, 30 eligible Indigenous communities accessed this support.

During consultation, Indigenous communities advised that their participation in the current process was occurring alongside summer harvesting activities, cultural gatherings, community events, and other consultation processes. In response to concerns regarding timing and community capacity, MPO extended the deadline for written submissions from September 16 to October 1, 2026. MPO also continued to receive, review, and assess written submissions received after October 1, 2026, and meet with Indigenous communities up until October 19.

At the time that MPO began consultation with Indigenous communities on potential listing of the Project, Fisheries and Oceans Canada was already consulting with the same communities on the potential issuance of a Fisheries Act authorization. To maintain continuity and ensure efficiency regardless of whether or not the Project became listed under the Act, MPO collaborated with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to consult about potential conditions in parallel with consultation about the potential listing decision itself. While discussion of potential regulatory conditions related to fish and fish habitat will provide a foundation for ongoing consultation following this listing decision, it did not play a role in informing the basis for the listing decision itself.

3. Views expressed during consultation

Indigenous communities expressed views regarding the Project itself and whether the Project should be listed as a projet of national interest under the Act.

Given the existing extensive consultation and accommodations on the Project, most consulted Indigenous communities had previously sent letters of consent or non-opposition to the Project. No listing submissions signaled that consent provided during the federal environmental assessment process would be retracted if the Project were listed under the Act.

Some Indigenous communities explicitly consented to the listing of the Project under the Act, while many were neutral on the listing decision. Some communities noted their consent for the Project in articulating non-opposition to listing, while others explicitly stated a position of non-opposition without a specific justification.

a. Opposition to listing and processes of the Act

Many Indigenous communities expressed discomfort with the processes of the Act due to a perceived risk that listing the Project would lead to decreased environmental protections. Few Indigenous communities saw benefits for their community in listing the Project.

Most communities that oppose listing do so on a conditional basis and request measures and conditions be met prior to giving consent to listing. Many Indigenous communities identified challenges associated with the consultation timeline. Communities advised that participation occurred alongside summer harvesting activities, cultural obligations, community events, ongoing consultation processes, and, for some communities, significant impacts associated with the 2026 wildfire season including community evacuations. These communities signaled that an extended consultation process could potentially lead to their support or consent for listing.

The GIC has carefully weighed these concerns in deciding to proceed with listing the Project at this time. The GIC notes that MPO undertook extensive consultation efforts during the timeline set out for the process. MPO provided participant funding, held bilateral meetings and information sessions, responded to information requests, extended the deadline for written submissions, and continued to receive and consider information after the formal submission deadline. Given the Project’s extensive regulatory history, including prior consultation with Indigenous communities, it is unlikely that delaying a listing decision would yield any additional relevant information to inform consultation with Indigenous communities. Recognizing the totality of Canada’s consultation with Indigenous communities, and the opportunity for further consultation to determine appropriate regulatory conditions for construction and operation to commence, the GIC has determined that a decision to list the Project is warranted without further delay.

b. Cumulative and environmental impacts

Many Indigenous communities expressed concern regarding the interaction of potential effects of the Project with additional proposed development within their territories. In particular, they sought clarity on how cumulative effects would be considered where other major projects are proposed in the same region, and how specific impacts of the Project would be distinguished from the combined effects of multiple existing and proposed developments. Indigenous communities placed particular emphasis on cumulative effects in the marine environment associated with increased shipping activity, including potential impacts on fish, fishing rights, and marine mammals. Communities noted that these concerns are interconnected with broader effects on land, air, and water, and should therefore be considered holistically.

The federal environmental assessment considered cumulative effects for projects and activities that were known at the time the assessment was undertaken. Any potential cumulative effects will be similarly considered during future regulatory reviews and related consultation activities for other proposed projects. The GIC recognizes the importance of these concerns and is satisfied that future regulatory processes will consider potential cumulative effects and, where appropriate, develop and consult upon conditions to support effects mitigation.

c. Impacts on fish, fish habitat, marine species, and species at risk

Many Indigenous communities expressed concern regarding potential impacts on fish, fish habitat, marine species, and species at risk. Particular concern was expressed regarding salmon populations, fish and marine resources relied upon for harvesting, marine mammals including the SRKW, other species of cultural importance, and the broader health of aquatic and marine ecosystems.

The GIC recognizes the importance of these concerns. The GIC also recognizes that many Indigenous communities identified the protection of fish, fish habitat, marine species, and species at risk as important considerations in assessing the Project’s potential impacts on recognized and asserted Aboriginal and treaty rights, harvesting activities, and stewardship responsibilities.

The GIC is satisfied that potential impacts on fish, fish habitat, marine species, and species at risk can be appropriately addressed through a variety of factors, including enforcement of key conditions identified in the Decision Statement, determination of additional conditions for amalgamation into a consolidated Conditions Document (and based on ongoing consultation with Indigenous communities), and federal policy interventions to help protect critical species’ habitat in the Salish Sea.

4. GIC assessment

The GIC is satisfied that the consultation process has provided a meaningful opportunity for Indigenous communities to share their views on potential adverse impacts on recognized and asserted Aboriginal and treaty rights, and Indigenous interests, communicate community-specific concerns, priorities, and recommendations, and inform the GIC’s understanding of Indigenous community perspectives regarding the potential implications of a listing decision. Through the consultation process, the GIC has obtained a substantial understanding of the issues and concerns Indigenous communities consider most significant with respect to the proposed listing.

The GIC also understands that the conditions development process is already underway in parallel with the consideration of the Project for listing under the Act and is informed through 13 years of prior consultation on the Project. Following project listing, an additional technical information session is planned to focus on the draft conditions for the protection of fish, fish habitat and aquatic species at risk, planned to be issued through the Conditions Document. This approach to consultation on the draft conditions is intended to provide continuity for Indigenous groups that have participated in ongoing consultations on the Project over the past years and will support timely progress towards issuing the authorizations to enable project construction.

With this in mind, the GIC is satisfied that potential impacts on recognized and asserted Aboriginal and treaty rights of the nature identified through consultation to date can be effectively accommodated, mitigated or otherwise addressed, where appropriate, in a manner consistent with the honour of the Crown.

Next steps

Following listing of the Project, MPO will continue to coordinate consultation with Indigenous communities to inform the content of a Conditions Document to be issued by the responsible Minister under the Act, which will take the place of key remaining federal permits and authorizations required for the Project.

Conclusion

In reaching a decision that the Project is in the national interest, the GIC considered the factors in subsection 5(6) of the Act, information gathered through consultation with Indigenous peoples, input from the public provided in response to the publication of the Government’s notice in the Canada Gazette, and engagement with British Columbia and with federal departments, among other factors and sources of information. The GIC also considered the federal environmental assessment, including the Federal Review Panel report and the Decision Statement. The GIC is satisfied that the duty to consult with Indigenous peoples in relation to the listing decision has been fulfilled. In reaching this decision, the GIC also considered the consultation that occurred under the federal environmental assessment process. The GIC is further assured that consultations will continue to be conducted with Indigenous peoples through the remaining regulatory review of the Project following its listing under the Act, in order to inform the issuance of a Conditions Document.

The GIC has determined that the Project would strengthen Canada’s autonomy, resilience, and security while creating material economic benefits that will improve the nation’s prosperity, which will be critical within a context of increasing trade uncertainty and economic rupture. The Project also demonstrates a credible pathway for successful execution with an experienced proponent, contractor and operator, and it is expected to provide benefits to Indigenous peoples and advance their interests through benefit sharing, employment, and procurement opportunities. Although the Project does not directly contribute to Canada’s GHG emission reduction targets and will have adverse effects on marine and terrestrial environments, the GIC has concluded that these effects can be mitigated through the regulatory process and announced Government of Canada programs, and that they do not displace the national interest character of the Project.

Having regard to the considerations above, the GIC is of the view that the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project is in the national interest, and has, by Order, amended Schedule 1 to add the name of the Project and a detailed description of it.
