Ms. Line Beauchamp Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks Marie-Guyart Building, 30 th floor 675, René-Lévesque Boulevard East Quebec, QC G1R 5V7 Édifice Lomer-Gouin 575, rue Saint-Amable, bureau 2.10 Québec (Québec) G1R 6A6 Téléphone : 418 643-7447 (sans frais) : 1 800 463-4732 Télécopieur : 418 643-9474 communication@bape.gouv.qc.ca www.bape.gouv.qc.ca Quebec City, May 30, 2007 Dear Minister Beauchamp: I am pleased to submit to you the report of the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement entitled Rabaska Project – Implementation of an LNG Terminal and Related Infrastructure. The mandate to hold an inquiry and public hearings regarding the project began December 4, 2006 and was chaired by Mr. Qussaï Samak, assisted by Mr. Jean Paré. From the standpoint of energy, the Panel found that the project is in line with the directions set by Quebec’s energy strategy. The Panel concluded that in the areas of economic and industrial activity the project’s added contribution to natural gas supply would have a positive impact on Quebec’s energy security as well as in terms of a relative price advantage. The Panel also noted the project’s favourable regional economic impact in terms of spin-offs and its structuring potential at the regional level. In regard to security, on the basis of its own findings and opinions regarding emergency measures planning, the Panel concluded that the risk assessment for the project is in conformity with established practices in the field, and that the risks associated with the project seem therefore acceptable. In regard to the project’s territorial integration, the Panel concludes that the port and onshore facilities would alter the landscape quality of the Beaumont shore. In its report, the Panel proposes certain measures to enhance the project’s potential economic advantages. Yours sincerely, William J. Cosgrove President
