1
00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:01,401
Enbridge and the DNR

2
00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:02,903
will present their cases

3
00:00:02,970 --> 00:00:04,404
in the fourth public hearing

4
00:00:04,471 --> 00:00:05,205
on the proposed

5
00:00:05,272 --> 00:00:07,107
reroute of Line 5.

6
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:08,175
All that will do it is

7
00:00:08,242 --> 00:00:10,644
shift the risk upstream

8
00:00:10,711 --> 00:00:11,411
exposing more

9
00:00:11,478 --> 00:00:12,613
of the environment to

10
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,147
to be put up at risk

11
00:00:14,214 --> 00:00:15,549
than what it is now.

12
00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:17,918
But, like I said before

13
00:00:17,985 --> 00:00:19,253
we have ceded territories

14
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:20,921
where we do a lot of hunting

15
00:00:20,988 --> 00:00:21,455
and fishing

16
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:23,190
and gathering of

17
00:00:23,624 --> 00:00:26,393
medicines and other stuff.

18
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,195
So, I mean, that's just

19
00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:28,896
it's just moving

20
00:00:28,962 --> 00:00:30,330
the problem upstream.

21
00:00:30,397 --> 00:00:32,733
We'll be downstream from that

22
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:34,935
and if something were to happen

23
00:00:35,002 --> 00:00:36,503
you know, it's

24
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:38,205
really impact us

25
00:00:38,272 --> 00:00:38,805
as people

26
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:39,873
and our way of life.

27
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:40,607
First of all, I'll

28
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:41,875
say we all depend

29
00:00:41,942 --> 00:00:43,277
on clean water

30
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:44,978
as humans.

31
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:46,446
And so we all have

32
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:47,748
a vested interest

33
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:48,815
in safety

34
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:51,018
and environmental protection.

35
00:00:51,084 --> 00:00:51,885
You know

36
00:00:51,952 --> 00:00:52,586
we are

37
00:00:52,653 --> 00:00:53,587
operating these pipelines.

38
00:00:53,654 --> 00:00:54,388
There are

39
00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:55,255
hundreds of thousands

40
00:00:55,322 --> 00:00:56,323
of miles of pipelines

41
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:57,191
across the U.S.

42
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:58,692
that operate every day

43
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:00,027
quietly, safely.

44
00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:01,461
We don't hear about them.

45
00:01:01,528 --> 00:01:02,429
We are monitoring

46
00:01:02,496 --> 00:01:03,630
these pipelines

47
00:01:03,697 --> 00:01:05,132
365 days a year

48
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:06,667
24 hours a day

49
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:08,569
seven days a week.

50
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:10,637
We are continuously

51
00:01:10,704 --> 00:01:11,939
running tools and doing

52
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:13,440
checks to make sure

53
00:01:13,507 --> 00:01:14,141
that we know

54
00:01:14,208 --> 00:01:14,975
the integrity

55
00:01:15,042 --> 00:01:15,876
of our pipeline.

56
00:01:15,943 --> 00:01:18,078
We know that it's safe.
