IAMC-TMX Funding Delivery Partner

12 November 2024/IAMC-TMX/,

The Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (IAMC-TMX) includes 13 Indigenous and six senior federal members to oversee the Trans Mountain pipeline project and provide advice to regulators and other government bodies. Members have a shared goal of safety and protection of environmental and Indigenous interests over lands and waters.

The IAMC-TMX is seeking proposals to administer the IAMC’s Stream 1 funding in partnership with the Indigenous Caucus (“Caucus”), according to a funding agreement with Natural Resources Canada. The successful proponent will administer up to $8 million for fiscal year 2025-2026, ending March 31, 2026 (“the project”). The successful proponent will commit to a one-year relationship, renewable by mutual agreement of the proponent and Natural Resources Canada.

There is an expectation that if other funding opportunities arise for the Indigenous Caucus for related projects, that the same organization would also support administration of those agreements.

The proponent will provide financial services, administering funding in support of approved workplan activities, and participate in the development of IAMC workplans while ensuring responsible stewardship of public funds and providing the necessary enabling frameworks, policies, systems, and best practices and tools to support program management and operations. The successful applicant will be expected to enter into an agreement with Caucus (a Memorandum of Understanding) to establish a shared understanding of responsibility and accountability between the proponent, Caucus, the IAMC-TMX Committee, and Natural Resources Canada.

Proposals are being accepted until November 29, 2024. Preference may initially be given to projects that can proceed on a timely basis.

To apply through this Call for Proposals, please complete the form below and return it to the IAMC-TMX Secretariat at tmxcommittee-comitetmx@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca. Proposals will be accepted via email until 11:59pm PST on November 29, 2024.

For more information, please contact the IAMC-TMX Secretariat at tmxcommittee-comitetmx@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca using the subject line “IAMC-TMX Stream 1 Call for Proposals”.

Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee - TMX

Participation Without Prejudice Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committees (IAMCs) operate on a “Participation Without Prejudice” basis. Joining an IAMC committee does not mean a community supports or opposes a project. It also does not affect the Crown’s duty to consult. IAMCs bring Indigenous leaders and federal partners together to advise regulators and support meaningful Indigenous involvement. Learn more at www.iamc.ca #IAMC #RightsRecognition #Reconciliation

What is an Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC)? An Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC) is a co-developed table that brings Indigenous leaders together with federal partners to advise regulators and support oversight of major energy projects. Built on mutual respect and shared responsibility, IAMCs work collaboratively to protect environmental and Indigenous interests. Today, there are two IAMCs: one for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMX) and one for the Enbridge Line 3 Replacement Program. Both support meaningful Indigenous involvement throughout every stage of these projects. Learn more at www.iamc.ca and www.iamc-line3.com #IAMC #IndigenousCollaboration #EnergyOversight

The story of the Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC) began with a powerful act of leadership. In June 2016, Chief Ernie Crey (Cheam) and Chief Aaron Sumexheltza (Lower Nicola) wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Premiers of B.C. and Alberta, calling for meaningful Indigenous involvement in the oversight of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMX). That letter set the stage for a new model of collaboration and led to the co-development of the IAMC-TMX, to bring Indigenous and federal representatives together to advise regulators and support Indigenous participation in oversight of safety, environmental protection, and Indigenous interests along the pipeline and associated marine shipping routes.

Governance Update: IAMC‑TMX As the Trans Mountain Expansion Project has been operating, the Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee (IAMC‑TMX) is undertaking governance alignment to ensure its work is fully focused on operations‑phase oversight. IAMC‑TMX activities will be paused until June while the Indigenous Caucus strengthens governance, clarifies processes and roles, and prepares for long‑term oversight during operations. This pause is intentional and reflects the Committee’s commitment to strong governance, accountability, and Indigenous‑led oversight. Updates will be shared as this work progresses. #IAMC #Governance #IndigenousOversight #TMX
