Subject Matter of the Lobbying Activities

Details Regarding the Identified Subject Matter

Will any of the lobbyists listed within this registration arrange a meeting between a public office holder and any other individual for the purpose of attempting to influence any of the matters listed below:

Yes

Specific Topics of Lobbying Communications	Intended Outcomes	Associated Subject Matters
Concern 1: January 31st Home Relocation for First Nations The rejection is based on the weight of our load, which totals 42,346 kg (93,356 lbs). When traveling down the center line of the bridge, our load is significantly lighter than the weight of two term-permit tri-tri vehicles traveling in opposite directions, which have a combined weight of 134,000 kg (306,316 lbs). These bridges have no posted weight restrictions and are regularly used by logging trucks, which weigh significantly more than our load. Additionally, these same bridges were recently used for the successful relocation of four houses to another First Nation, without issue or concern. This relocation will save approximately 87 trees, preserve 42,800 kgs of embodied carbon, and divert 53,500 kgs of landfill waste, contributing to environmental and social benefits. Importantly, this house must be moved by January 31 or it will be demolished, leaving a family seeking to return to their ancestral lands without housing.	Development of any legislative proposal by the government of British Columbia, a Provincial entity or a member of the Legislative Assembly Development or enactment of any regulation, including the enactment of a regulation for the purposes of amending or repealing a regulation Development, establishment, amendment or termination of any program, policy, directive or guideline of the government of British Columbia or a Provincial entity	Transportation
Concern 2: Extraordinary Move Permits for House Relocations House relocations are now being included under Extraordinary Move Permits, which take much longer to process and involve teams unfamiliar with the unique requirements of house moves. We understand this change is due to concerns about commercial loads striking bridges. However, no house has ever hit a bridge. This policy places undue strain on an industry that is not causing the problem, diverting resources that could be better allocated to addressing issues within industries that are. House relocations are supported by other ministries, including the Ministry of Housing, the Ministry of Environment, and even the Federal government, which is considering Code provisions to facilitate house moves. It is essential to streamline permitting processes for this vital industry, which aligns with the Province's broader environmental and housing goals.	Development of any legislative proposal by the government of British Columbia, a Provincial entity or a member of the Legislative Assembly Development or enactment of any regulation, including the enactment of a regulation for the purposes of amending or repealing a regulation Development, establishment, amendment or termination of any program, policy, directive or guideline of the government of British Columbia or a Provincial entity	Transportation
Concern 3: Challenges with Telus We are requesting the Ministry’s support in addressing ongoing challenges related to Telus and broader concerns regarding the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Key issues include: 1. Telus’ prohibition of essential safety equipment, such as skid boards/sliding systems, near their lines, which increases risk and liability for transporters. 2. Telus’ claim that no moves can occur within 3 feet of their lines without their permission and a paid line-lifting contractor present, coupled with threats of $100,000 fines and imprisonment for non-compliance. 3. Telus applying up to 40% mark-ups to contractor invoices for line lifting and move escorts. 4. Telus lines being hung lower than Provincial and Federal height requirements, leading to additional obstructions and unnecessary safety concerns in move corridors. 5. The need for legislative protections to: o Allow oversized transporters to source their own line-lifting contractors without interference. o Ensure line-lifting contractors are only required when necessary. o Permit transporters to conduct their own route surveys and measurements to determine if line-lifting is required. 6. Establishment of clear regulations regarding Provincially-owned airspace to address Telus’ claims over airspace surrounding their lines.	Development of any legislative proposal by the government of British Columbia, a Provincial entity or a member of the Legislative Assembly Development or enactment of any regulation, including the enactment of a regulation for the purposes of amending or repealing a regulation Development, establishment, amendment or termination of any program, policy, directive or guideline of the government of British Columbia or a Provincial entity	Telecommunications, Transportation
