  • The Financial Assurances Plan must be signed by an officer of the company, verifying that it is accurate, complete, and, at a minimum, meets the criteria and coverage levels described below:
    • i) Criteria for financial assurance instruments and plan:
      • 1) Any letter of credit that forms part of the Financial Assurances Plan must be unconditional and irrevocable, segregated from Trans Mountain's day-to-day business activities, and be dedicated to providing funds to cover the costs described in sub a) above, without limitation.
      • 2) Third party liability insurance must be current, and broad, respecting the scope of environmental damages covered by the policy;
        the policy will be consistent with provisions available in the insurance market (i.e., only exceptional/non-standard perils, taking into account the Project's nature and scope, would be excluded from coverage). Such insurance must be structured on a multi-year basis, recognizing potential loss of income by persons sustaining damage caused by Trans Mountain, over a reasonable number of years after the event.
      • 3) A portion of cash reserves or a portion of future cash flows of the Project may be included as instruments in the Financial Assurances Plan, provided they are secured by a commitment letter from an officer of the company confirming that the funds will be dedicated to the Financial Assurances Plan without restrictions for the period specified by the officer.
      • 4) Parental and other third party guarantors must be registered within a Canadian jurisdiction and must have financial strength that is demonstrated in balance sheet values and ratios and credit ratings. For example, total assets less total liabilities of the guarantor should be several multiples of the liability assumed in the Trans Mountain guarantee.
    • ii) Financial assurance components and coverage levels:
      • Trans Mountain's Financial Assurances Plan must provide a total coverage, for the Project as a whole, of $1.1 billion⁵ for the costs described in sub a) above, without limitation. The plan should include the following components and minimum coverage levels:
      • 1) Ready cash: Trans Mountain must have unfettered access to at least $100 million to cover costs, including compensation to third parties for losses and damages in the near term, while insurance claims are being processed. Once used, this source of cash must be replenished immediately to cover the costs of a potential future spill. This can be in the form of a letter of credit, surety bond or other form acceptable to the NEB.
      • 2) Core coverage: Trans Mountain must put in effect and maintain current at all times a core financial coverage of at least $1 billion that includes third party liability insurance and other financial assurance instruments that comply with the criteria. Core coverage must be a portfolio approach with multiple financial instruments used and may not be composed of a single financial instrument (e.g., only third party liability insurance). At least one component of core coverage must be funds that are readily accessible to Trans Mountain (e.g., cash reserves held by the general partner and not distributed to the limited partners).
      • Trans Mountain may use a number of financial and insurance instruments in its Financial Assurances Plan. However, sales of Project assets used for transporting hydrocarbon commodities will not be eligible candidates.  Below are some illustrative financial and insurance instruments that could be potential candidates for the Financial Assurances Plan:
        • Irrevocable, unfettered letter of credit.
        • Secured line of credit.
        • Cash reserves held by the general partner and not distributed to the limited partners (and verifiable on Trans Mountain Pipelines Limited Partnership's balance sheet).
        • Internal cash flow, committed by Trans Mountain to financial assurances.
        • Industry pooled fund.
        • Third party liability insurance with exclusions for only exceptional/non-standard perils.
        • No fault third party liability insurance.

The report must summarize the key features of each financial and insurance instrument proposed for inclusion in the Financial Assurances Plan.
  • ii) At least 3 months prior to applying for leave to open Line 2, a supplement to the report described in b)i) that provides verification of any third party liability insurance coverage, a copy of the insurance certificate, and a summary of the insurance policy's key features. This summary must include: limits on insurance coverage, deductible amounts, the risks and perils and properties covered by the insurance policy, the exclusions from coverage, Trans Mountain's obligations, effective dates, and names of insurers and reinsurers.
  • iii) With its first leave to open application for Line 2, a report describing the steps it took to eliminate any deficiencies in its Financial Assurances Plan that were identified in the independent third party report referenced in b)i) and the NEB's subsequent review.
  • iv) On or before 31 January of each year after commencing operations, a letter signed by an officer of the company verifying that all components of the Financial Assurances Plan remain as the NEB approved and sufficient to meet the financial assurance coverage levels described in ii).
  • v) At least 2 months prior to any intended change(s) to the Financial Assurances Plan during the Projects operations phase, a letter, for approval, detailing the intended change(s) and how the change(s) provides the same or greater level of protection.
  • vi) Within 30 days after accessing any component of the Financial Assurances Plan, a report detailing the component accessed, the reason for accessing it, and Trans Mountain's plan to ensure that it continues to meet the requirements of its NEB-approved Financial Assurances Plan.
