The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada has reviewed and commented on the federal review panel report for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project. The report provided a road map to mitigate the project related effects.

The panel agreed with the location of this project is the best possible option to meet the anticipated demand for trade with Asia, and that the purpose of the project is consistent with Canada’s role as a trading nation. The benefits of the project would extend to the City of Delta, Metro Vancouver, British Columbia and Canada because of the employment, business opportunities and economic development resulting from the project.

The project involves the development of the terminal superstructure and equipment and the subsequent operation of a new marine container terminal for a period of up to 40 years. The project will develop a new three-berth container terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, Metropolitan Area of Vancouver, B.C., on Canada's west coast

The project would inject more than CAD 2 billion (US$ 1.43 billion) in capital investment into the economy and would create over 12,000 construction jobs, and over 12,000 direct and indirect operating jobs. It would mean a significant contribution to the local, regional and national economies, as well as Indigenous communities, in addition to those Indigenous groups who have entered into Mutual Benefits Agreements with the port authority.
