About Line 3 Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC)

The Line 3 IAMC is dedicated to improving and transforming the regulatory system governing energy projects in Canada. It is a group that speaks up for and advises First Nations and the Métis Nation who are, or could be, impacted in an area called the Enbridge Corridor. This includes both pipelines (line 3 and 8 other lines) and the related infrastructure. Since its creation, the Line 3 IAMC has worked with the federal government to promote safety and environmental protection along the pipeline route; led Indigenous monitoring during key phases; and brought First Nations and Métis Nation perspectives to the project. The Line 3 IAMC is made up of 16 Indigenous Caucus seats, one Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) representative and one Canada Energy Regulator (CER) representative, with a Co-chair from the Indigenous Caucus and NRCan. The Indigenous Caucus represents 109 First Nation and Métis Nation and Regions across the Prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) who are impacted by the project. The Line 3 IAMC does not have control over funding or economic development, and does not intend to be a rights-holding body. The Line 3 IAMC is here to help ensure that Nations’ perspectives, concerns, and priorities are represented and taken into account in decisions that impact their lands, traditional territories, and resources. Housed within NRCan, a Secretariat provides administrative, program, policy, strategic communications, and logistical support to the committee. An Indigenous individual has been hired to provide direct support to the Indigenous Caucus and reports to the Indigenous Co-chair.
