Additionally, the Companies intend to expand the EEC Stakeholder Group to include additional
members, in particular representatives from the industrial, innovative technologies, and nonprofit
sectors, in order to reflect the expanding number of EEC programs available for the
marketplace. As the EEC Stakeholder Group is expected to grow, the proposed budget in Table
12-2 below will reflect this growth. Stakeholder travel is expected to increase to encourage
participation from representatives outside of the Lower Mainland. For example, industrial
customers from northern BC, non-profit association representatives, and other government
representatives
