Here is the statement form the Joint Review Panel (JRP) from the National Energy Board.

Due to recent information concerning public safety associated with the Kelowna oral statement hearing on 28 January, the Joint Review Panel has changed the format.

The Panel has become aware of information regarding safety concerns if the hearing continues as originally planned. As a result, the Panel is restricting the hearing room to oral statement presenters, their guest and the media.

The Panel will provide a room for the public to hear the audio broadcast in a different location. Please see the Panel’s website for updates. The Panel is committed to providing a safe and secure venue for all of its proceedings.

A live audio broadcast of the hearing will be available through the Panel’s website.

• The Panel will provide a room for the public to hear the audio broadcast of the Kelowna oral statements on 28 January at the Holiday Inn Express Kelowna Conference Centre 2429 Highway 97 North, starting at 10 a.m.
• The hearings are scheduled for the Sandman Hotel & Suites, 2130 Harvey Ave. on Monday Jan. 28 Starting at 10:00 a.m.
