PROXY STATEMENT
2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS



        Our Board is furnishing you with this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of the company to be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and any postponements or adjournments thereof. In connection with the annual meeting, the company has mailed to registered and beneficial shareholders a proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable, the notice of meeting and the proxy statement. This proxy statement is first being sent to shareholders beginning on April 18, 2019.

        References in this document to "dollars," "$" or "C$" are to the currency of Canada, and references to "U.S.$" are to the currency of the United States.

2019 Return of Capital and Share Consolidation

        After obtaining required approvals at a November 29, 2018 meeting of our company voting shareholders, on January 3, 2019, we paid a distribution of approximately $1.2 billion as a return of capital to holders of our restricted voting shares and $2.8 billion to KMI as the indirect holder of its interest in Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership and all of our special voting shares (collectively, the "Return of Capital"), and on January 4, 2019, we effected a "reverse stock split" of our restricted voting shares and special voting shares on a one-for-three basis (three shares consolidating to one share) (the "Share Consolidation").

        Unless otherwise noted, all numbers of restricted voting shares and special voting shares for all periods presented in this proxy statement reflect the Share Consolidation.


QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

What is the difference between a registered holder and a beneficial owner or "street name" holder?

        If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, referred to in this proxy statement as a "registered" holder. As the registered holder, you have the right to vote in person at the annual meeting. As of the record date, Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") was the sole registered holder of our restricted voting shares, and Kinder Morgan Canada Company and KM Canada Terminals ULC were the only registered holders of our special voting shares.

        If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner or "street name" holder. A street name holder is not the shareholder of record entitled to vote in person at the meeting. However, as a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other intermediary regarding how to vote the shares held in your account or to obtain a

1


Table of Contents

proxy from your broker and vote your shares in person at the meeting. All of our shareholders other than CDS, Kinder Morgan Canada Company and KM Canada Terminals ULC are beneficial owners.

Who is entitled to vote on the matters presented at the annual meeting?

        All shareholders who owned our company voting shares as of the close of business on April 3, 2019, which we refer to as the record date, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote their company voting shares at, the annual meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. The company's Series 1 Preferred Shares and Series 3 Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote at the annual meeting. If you owned our company voting shares as of the close of business on the record date, you are authorized to vote those shares at the annual meeting, even if you subsequently sell them, except to the extent that you have transferred your company voting shares after the record date and the transferee of such shares establishes its ownership of such shares and requests, not later than ten days before the meeting, that its name be included on the list of shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting, in which case the transferee will be entitled to vote those shares at the meeting. Please see "How do I vote?" below for important information regarding how to vote your shares.

        As at April 3, 2019, there were 34,944,993 restricted voting shares and 81,353,820 special voting shares issued and outstanding. To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the company, no person or company beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the company, except KMI, which, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kinder Morgan Canada Company and KM Canada Terminals ULC, holds all of the issued and outstanding special voting shares.

How do I vote?

        You may vote your shares by any of the following methods:

    By Internet—If you have Internet access, you may view proxy materials and vote online by following the instructions on your proxy card (if you are the registered holder of your shares) or voting instruction form (if your shares are held beneficially in street name).

    By Telephone—You may submit your vote by telephone by following the instructions on your proxy card (if you are the registered holder of your shares) or voting instruction form (if your shares are held beneficially in street name).

    By Mail—You may vote by completing and returning a signed paper proxy card (if you are the registered holder of your shares) or by following the vote-by-mail instructions included on the voting instruction form provided by your broker or other intermediary (if your shares are held beneficially in street name).

    In Person at the Annual Meeting—  

    Registered Holders.  As a registered holder, you have the right to vote in person at the annual meeting.

    Street Name Holders.  If you are a street name holder and you wish to vote in person at the meeting, you must appoint yourself as proxy on the proxy card or voting instruction form provided by your broker or other intermediary that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote your shares in person at the meeting. You must appoint yourself as proxy not less than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before the time set for the meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the day of the meeting, you will need to provide a copy of such proxy card or voting instruction form indicating that you have been appointed as proxy in order to obtain a ballot.

Table of Contents

        Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, your plans may change, so it is a good idea to complete, sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form, or vote over the Internet or by telephone in advance of the deadline for voting. Any shareholder attending the meeting who presents the appropriate documentation may revoke an earlier vote by proxy and vote in person.

        In order to be valid, proxy cards and votes cast over the Internet or by telephone must be received not less than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before the time set for the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If you hold your shares in street name, you should follow the instructions on the voting instruction form provided by your broker or other intermediary with respect to the procedures to be followed for voting at the meeting.

How can I access the proxy materials over the Internet?

        You can view the proxy materials related to the annual meeting on the Internet website listed on your proxy card or voting instruction form.

        You also may access the proxy materials through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system at www.sec.gov, under our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on our website at ir.kindermorgancanadalimited.com.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?

        It means that you have multiple accounts at Computershare and/or with one or more brokers. Please vote using each control number to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

How many votes do I have?

        You have one vote for each company voting share that you owned as of the close of business on the record date.

How many shares must be present to conduct the annual meeting?

        The presence at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, of at least two shareholders together holding not less than 25% of our company voting shares outstanding as of the close of business on the record date will constitute a quorum. The presence of a quorum will permit us to conduct the proposed business at the annual meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, 116,298,813 company voting shares were issued and outstanding. As a result, holders of at least 29,074,704 company voting shares must be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum.

        Your company voting shares will be counted as present at the annual meeting if you:

    have properly submitted a proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable, or voted over the Internet or by telephone before the deadline for voting; or

    attend the meeting, if you are a registered holder or if you are a street name holder and have appointed yourself as proxy not less than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before the time set for the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

        Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the number of shares considered present at the annual meeting for quorum purposes.

What happens if I do not specify a choice for a proposal when returning a proxy or voting instruction form?

        If you sign and return a paper proxy card and no direction is given for any item on the proxy card, your shares will be voted "FOR" the election of the nominated slate of directors and "FOR" the

3


Table of Contents

appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (United States) ("PwC US") as our independent auditor for 2019.

        If you are a street name holder whose shares are held by a broker and you sign and return a voting instruction form and no direction is given for any item on the form, how your shares will be voted depends on whether your broker is subject to U.S. regulation. If your broker is not subject to U.S. regulation, your shares will be voted "FOR" the election of the nominated slate of directors and "FOR" the appointment of PwC US as our independent auditor for 2019.

        If your broker is subject to U.S. regulation, he or she will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to the matters to be acted upon (other than with respect to the appointment of PwC US as our independent auditor for 2019). Thus, if you do not give your broker or other intermediary specific instructions, your shares will not be voted on those matters. Shares represented by such "broker non-votes" will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

    Registered Holders.  If you are a registered holder, you may change your vote at any time before the voting deadline, or you may revoke your proxy and submit a new proxy or vote in person at the annual meeting. You may do this in a number of ways. First, you may cast a new vote over the Internet or by telephone, so long as you do so by the deadline of 9:00 a.m. (Calgary time) on May 13, 2019 (48 hours prior to the annual meeting) or 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) prior to any adjournment of the annual meeting. Second, you may complete and submit a new proxy card. Third, you may send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. If you choose either of the latter two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card to the attention of our corporate secretary (Suite 3000, 300—5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 5J2) so that it is received on or before the last business day before the annual meeting. Finally, you may attend the annual meeting, submit a written notice of revocation to the chair of the meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting, without voting in person, will not revoke your proxy.

    Street Name Holders.  If you are a street name holder and you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your broker to change your vote.

What vote is required to approve each item?

    Election of Directors.  To be elected to the Board, a nominee must receive a majority of the votes cast, that is, the number of votes cast "FOR" a nominee's election must exceed the number of votes "WITHHELD" for such nominee's election. A failure to vote will not be taken into account in director elections.

    Appointment of Independent Auditor for 2019.  For PwC US to be appointed as our independent auditor for 2019, the firm must receive the affirmative vote by holders of a majority of the votes cast. An instruction to "ABSTAIN" will not be voted, although the shares represented by such instruction will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. In the event shareholders do not appoint PwC US, the selection will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee and our Board.

Who has been appointed as my proxy holder(s)?

        The persons named in the proxy card included with the proxy materials are officers of our company. A registered holder of company voting shares submitting a completed proxy card has the right to appoint a person or company (who does not have to be a shareholder of the company) other than the persons designated in the proxy card to be their representative at the annual meeting. Such

4


Table of Contents

appointment may be exercised by inserting the name of the appointed representative in the blank space provided for that purpose.

How will my proxy holder(s) vote my shares?

        The persons named in a properly completed, signed and returned proxy card will vote the company voting shares represented by that proxy card, as instructed. See "What happens if I do not specify a choice for a proposal when returning a proxy or voting information form?" above for information about how shares will be voted for matters for which no specification has been made on a signed and returned proxy card.

        The proxy card confers discretionary authority on the designated proxy holders with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified herein or other matters that may properly come before the annual meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, management of the company knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter. For further information, please see "Other Matters" in this proxy statement.

Do I have any dissenters' rights?

        No. Under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) ("ABCA"), dissenters' rights are not available to our shareholders with respect to the matters to be voted on at the annual meeting.

Who can attend the annual meeting?

        Due to space and security concerns, only shareholders as of the close of business on the record date or their duly appointed proxy holders may attend the annual meeting. We are not able to admit guests of either shareholders or proxy holders. Admission to the annual meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. (Calgary time), and seating will begin at 8:30 a.m. (Calgary time). Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting.

        Shareholders and proxy holders will be asked to present valid picture identification, such as a driver's license or passport. Please note that if you hold your shares in street name, you will also need to bring the voting instruction form that you receive from your broker or other intermediary in connection with the annual meeting or a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your share ownership as of the close of business on the record date.

        Beneficial shareholders who have not appointed themselves as proxy at least 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) before the time set for the meeting or any adjournment thereof will not be able to vote in person at the annual meeting. See "How do I vote?" above.

Where can I find the voting results of the annual meeting?

        The preliminary voting results will be announced at the meeting. The final results will be reported in a news release that we will file on SEDAR, located at www.sedar.com, promptly following the meeting and on a current report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the meeting.

Who will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of my vote?

        We will pay the cost of preparing these proxy materials and soliciting your vote. We also will pay the annual meeting expenses. In addition, proxies may be solicited by our directors, officers and other employees over the Internet or by telephone, fax, in person or otherwise. These individuals will not receive any additional compensation for assisting in the solicitation. We may also request that brokerage firms, nominees, custodians and fiduciaries transmit proxy materials to the street name

Table of Contents

holders, and we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in transmitting such material. Firms including Computershare Trust Company of Canada and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will perform the broker nominee search and distribute proxy materials to banks, brokers, nominees and intermediaries. We will pay these third parties approximately $15,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses for these services.

        The company is sending the proxy materials directly to its registered shareholders and indirectly to all beneficial shareholders through their intermediaries. The company will pay for an intermediary to deliver the applicable proxy materials to both "objecting beneficial owners" and "non-objecting beneficial owners." The company is not sending any proxy materials directly to beneficial owners.

        If you vote over the Internet or by telephone, any Internet access or telephone charges will be your responsibility.

How can I find more information about KML?

        There are several ways. Additional information regarding the company, including annual and interim financial statements, management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, and other reports we have filed, is available under our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. We also file annual, quarterly and other reports, proxy statements and other information through the SEC's EDGAR System. This system can be accessed at www.sec.gov.

Additional Disclosure Relating to Board Members

        Mr. Ritchie served as a director of Gemini Corporation ("Gemini"), a TSX Venture Exchange-listed company, until his resignation on April 19, 2018. On April 19, 2018, Gemini was made the subject of a receivership order by the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench upon the application of Gemini's senior secured creditor. On May 4, 2018, Gemini became subject to a cease trade order in Alberta and British Columbia for failure to file annual audited financial statements, annual management's discussion and analysis and certification of the annual filings for the year ended December 31, 2017. At the close of business on May 8, 2018, the common shares of Gemini were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Independence of Board Members

        Our Board has affirmatively determined that, based on its consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, each of Messrs. Fournier, Ritchie and Wade has no material relationship with us and is independent, as that term is defined in National Instrument 58-101—Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") and our Board Mandate. In addition, although we are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), our Board has determined that each of Messrs. Fournier, Ritchie and Wade is "independent," as that term is defined in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Our Board has also determined that each member of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee is independent for purposes of membership on such committees. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Kean and Sanders are not independent because they serve as CEO and CFO, respectively, of our company and as executive officers of KMI, and that Ms. Dang is not independent because she serves as an executive officer of KMI.

Board Leadership Structure and Lead Director

        Steven J. Kean has served as both our Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since our initial public offering in 2017. We believe that, at this early stage of the company's existence, consolidating the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer most effectively coordinates the leadership and advisory roles of the Board with the strategic and operational expertise of our management team. Accordingly, our Board of Directors does not have an independent director as Chair of the Board. Rather, it has an independent lead director and has developed procedures for the independent directors to function independently of management and, where applicable, KMI.

        Our Board has adopted a fixed in camera agenda item for each Board and committee meeting, during which independent directors, under the direction of the lead director or committee chair, may meet without any members of management or non-independent directors present. Also, in the absence of the Chair of the Board, the Lead Director is responsible for presiding at meetings of the Board of the Directors. Our Board has in place the following measures to facilitate the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out its responsibilities:

    Three of our six directors are independent, as described above;

    Mr. Ritchie, one of our independent directors, has been appointed by the Board as lead director. In his role as lead director, Mr. Ritchie is responsible for moderating in camera sessions of the Board's non-management directors and acting as principal liaison between the non-management directors and the Chair on matters dealt with in such sessions;

    Our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee are composed entirely of and chaired by non-management directors who meet the independence requirements of NI 58-101, the NYSE Listed Company Manual and our Board Mandate;

    All of the members of our Audit Committee are "independent" and "financially literate" within the meaning of such terms under National Instrument 52-110—Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"),

12


Table of Contents

      and qualify as "audit committee financial experts" as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K;

    The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for succession planning for senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer;

    Non-management directors meet regularly in camera, without the participation of the company's senior management, to review matters concerning the relationship of the Board with members of the company's management and such other matters as the lead director and other non-management directors may deem appropriate; and

    The Nominating and Governance Committee conducts an annual review and evaluation of the conduct and performance of the Board and its committees based upon completion by each director of an evaluation form, or upon such interviews of directors or other methods as the Nominating and Governance Committee believes appropriate and suitable for eliciting the relevant information.

The Board's Role in Risk Oversight

        The Board has oversight responsibility with regard to assessment of the major risks inherent in our business and measures to address and mitigate such risks. While the Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight at our company, the committees of the Board assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by considering the risks within their respective areas of expertise. For example, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities relating to our financial and accounting risk management policies and procedures. As part of this process, the Audit Committee meets periodically with management to review, discuss and provide oversight with respect to our processes and controls to assess, monitor, manage and mitigate potential significant risk exposure. In providing such oversight, the Audit Committee may also discuss such processes and controls with our internal and independent auditors. The Compensation Committee likewise assists the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks associated with compensation program design by reviewing whether there are risks arising from our compensation programs and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Nominating and Governance Committee assists the Board with oversight of risk management relating to corporate governance, Board organization and Board membership. The Environmental, Health and Safety ("EHS") Committee assists the Board with oversight of risk management relating to environmental, health and safety matters, including reviewing with management our reputation as a responsible corporate citizen and our efforts to employ sustainable business practices.

Position Descriptions

        The Board has adopted position descriptions for the chair of the Board and the chair of each of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Compensation Committee and EHS Committee.

        The primary responsibilities of the chair of the Board include: (i) ensuring that the Board is properly organized, functions effectively and meets its obligations and responsibilities in all aspects of its work, while not interfering with the company's ongoing operations; and (ii) coordinating the affairs of the Board and ensuring effective relations with senior management, the directors of the company, shareholders and other stakeholders.

        The responsibilities of the chair of each standing committee include: (i) ensuring that the committee is properly organized, functions effectively and meets its obligations and responsibilities in accordance with its charter; and (ii) liaising and communicating with the chair of the Board to coordinate input from the committee for meetings of the Board.

        Mr. Kean has been appointed by and serves under the supervision of the Board. No position description for the CEO of the company has been developed. As CEO, Mr. Kean is responsible for developing and executing the strategic direction of our business in consultation with the President of the company.

Orientation and Continuing Education

        The orientation and continuing education of the directors of the company is the responsibility of the Board under the guidance of the chair of the Board. The details of the orientation of new directors will be tailored to their needs and areas of expertise and will include the delivery of written materials and participation in meetings with management and directors. The focus of the orientation program will be on providing new directors with: (i) information about the duties and obligations of directors; (ii) information about the company's strategy and business; (iii) the expectations of directors; (iv) opportunities to meet with management and any other senior employees or consultants designated for this purpose (including those provided by Kinder Morgan Canada Services Inc. ("KMCSI") pursuant to the Services Agreement); and (v) access to documents from recent meetings of the Board.

        The directors of the company have all been chosen for their specific level of knowledge and expertise. All directors will be provided with materials relating to their duties, roles and responsibilities. In addition, directors will be kept informed as to matters impacting, or which may impact, the business of the company through reports and presentations by internal and external presenters at meetings of the Board and during periodic strategy sessions held by the Board.

Code of Ethics

        The Board of Directors has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Ethics") that encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct that is applicable to all directors, management, employees and consultants of the company. The Code of Ethics is supported by a number of other policies and covers, among other things:

    honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of business relationships;

    avoiding conflicts of interest;

    full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in our filings with securities regulatory authorities and in our other public communications;

    compliance with laws, rules and regulations;

    our commitment to health, safety and the environment;

    protection of company assets;

    prompt reporting of ethical concerns; and

    anti-retaliation.

        We regularly conduct training on and require employees to certify their commitment to the Code of Ethics and related policies. We support reporting of ethical concerns by providing an ethics hotline maintained by a third-party service provider, which any person can use to report concerns confidentially and anonymously. The Audit Committee is responsible for the implementation and administration of the Code of Ethics. The Audit Committee is notified directly of reports received through our ethics hotline. Our internal audit department routinely reports to the Audit Committee regarding investigations of potential Code of Ethics violations, including at quarterly Audit Committee meetings. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available on the "Corporate Governance" page of our website at www.kindermorgancanadalimited.com and on our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee, which is a separately designated standing audit committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is composed of Messrs. Ritchie, Fournier and Wade, with Mr. Ritchie serving as chair. Each member of the Audit Committee has been determined by the Board to be "financially literate" as defined in NI 52-110, an "audit committee financial expert" and independent as described under the relevant standards. The Audit Committee has a written charter adopted by our Board, which is attached hereto as Schedule B and is posted on the "Corporate Governance" page of our website at www.kindermorgancanadalimited.com. The Audit Committee met ten times during 2018. For information regarding the education and experience of the members of our Audit Committee, see "Corporate Governance—The Board of Directors" above.

        The Audit Committee's primary purposes are to:

    monitor the integrity of our financial statements, financial reporting processes, systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance and disclosure controls and procedures;

    monitor our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

Table of Contents

    subject to the rights of shareholders and applicable law, recommend for appointment, engage, oversee, retain, compensate and evaluate our independent auditors, pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided, consistent with all applicable laws, to us by our independent auditors, and establish the fees and other compensation to be paid to our independent auditors;

    monitor and evaluate the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and internal auditing function; and

    establish procedures for the receipt, retention, response to and treatment of complaints, including confidential, anonymous submissions by our employees, regarding accounting, internal controls, disclosure or auditing matters, and provide an avenue of communication among our independent auditors, management, the internal auditing function and our Board.

Audit Matters

        As a result of the sale of the company's Trans Mountain Pipeline system and the related Trans Mountain expansion project on August 31, 2018, most of the company's accounting functions are now managed out of Houston, Texas. Accordingly, on October 24, 2018, the company changed its principal independent registered public accountant from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (Canada) ("PwC Canada") to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (United States) ("PwC US"). This change constituted a resignation by PwC Canada and the engagement of PwC US because PwC Canada and PwC US are separate legal entities. The decision to change independent registered public accountants was approved by the Audit Committee on October 24, 2018. A copy of the current report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC and on SEDAR to report our change in auditors, including the letter of PwC Canada that was filed as an exhibit, is attached hereto as Schedule C. The following tables set forth fees billed for audit and other services provided by PwC Canada and PwC US for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

        All services rendered by PwC Canada and PwC US are permissible under applicable laws and regulations, and were pre-approved by our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has reviewed the independent auditors' fees for audit and non-audit services for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee has also considered whether such non-audit services are compatible with maintaining the independent auditors' independence and has concluded that they are compatible at this time.

        Furthermore, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the independent auditors' proposed audit scope and approach as well as the performance of the independent auditors. It also has direct responsibility for and sole authority to resolve any disagreements between our management and our independent auditors regarding financial reporting, regularly reviews with the independent auditors any problems or difficulties the independent auditors encountered in the course of their audit work, and, at least annually, uses its reasonable efforts to obtain and review a report from the independent auditors addressing the following (among other items): (i) the independent auditors' internal quality-control procedures; (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent auditors; (iii) the independence of the independent auditors; and (iv) the aggregate fees billed by our independent auditors for each of the previous two fiscal years.

Report of Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The Audit Committee has also discussed with PwC US and PwC Canada, our independent registered public accounting firms during the relevant periods, the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU 380), as modified or supplemented. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC US and PwC Canada required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the communications of PwC US and PwC Canada with the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee has discussed the independence of PwC US and PwC Canada with those firms.

        Based on the review and discussions described in the above paragraph, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC.

        This report is respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board.

Table of Contents

website at www.kindermorgancanadalimited.com. The Compensation Committee met two times during 2018.

        The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the compensation of our employees and directors. The Board desires to provide a compensation program for officers and key management personnel pursuant to which they are effectively compensated in terms of salaries, supplemental compensation and other benefits on a basis that is internally equitable and externally competitive. Therefore, the committee's primary purposes are to:

    develop and recommend to the Board, the annual compensation, direct and indirect, to be received by our executive officers;

    review new executive compensation programs;

    assess and monitor our director compensation programs;

    review on a periodic basis the effectiveness of our director and executive compensation programs to determine whether they are properly coordinated and are achieving their intended purpose;

    monitor and take steps to modify any executive compensation program that yields payments and benefits that are not reasonably related to executive and institutional performance or are not competitive in the aggregate to programs of peer businesses;

    produce disclosure relating to director and executive compensation for inclusion in the company's periodic disclosure as required under applicable securities laws; and

    periodically review and assess our compensation and benefits for employees generally.

        Please refer to "Executive Compensation—Elements of Compensation" below for a discussion of the Compensation Committee's procedures and processes for making executive officer and non-employee director compensation determinations. Per its charter, the Compensation Committee has no authority to delegate the responsibilities specified in its charter. The Compensation Committee did not use compensation consultants during 2018.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        Our Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Fournier, Ritchie and Wade, with Mr. Wade serving as chair of the committee. During 2018, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or Compensation Committee, except that Mr. Kean and Ms. Dang are executive officers and serve on the board of directors of KMI.

        The Nominating and Governance Committee's primary purposes are to:

    make recommendations regarding the size of our Board, to the extent the size of the Board may be changed in accordance with the company's bylaws;

    identify individuals qualified to become members of our Board, and recommend director nominees to our Board for election at our annual meeting of shareholders;

    identify from among the members of our Board and report to our Board on individuals recommended to serve as members of the various committees of our Board;

    annually re-evaluate our Board Mandate and recommend to our Board any changes that the Nominating and Governance Committee deems necessary or appropriate; and

    periodically evaluate our Board's and committees' performances.

        The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the effectiveness of the Board and the Board committees. The Chair of the Committee will lead an annual Board effectiveness roundtable discussion with all members of the Board and during an in camera session. The topics to be discussed are specifically chosen to elicit frank discussion about issues or concerns which might be preventing the Board from being as effective as it otherwise could be. Suggestions and actions which arise out of these discussions will be provided to the Nominating and Governance Committee for further handling and implementation.

Board Qualifications, Diversity and Core Competencies

        Our Board Mandate requires that our Board reflect the following characteristics:

    each director should be:

    a person of integrity who is dedicated, industrious, honest, candid, fair and discreet;

    knowledgeable, or willing to become so quickly, in the critical aspects of the company's business and operations; and

    experienced and skillful in serving as a member of, overseer of, or trusted advisor to, the senior management or board of at least one substantial corporation, charity, institution or other enterprise;

    our Board shall have such number of "independent" (as such term is defined by NI 58-101) directors as required by applicable law; and

    our Board should encompass a range of talents, skills and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the full scope of our operations and interests.

        In its evaluation of possible candidates for service on our Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the characteristics outlined above, in addition to: (i) a candidate's experience, knowledge, skills, integrity, independence (as described in our Board Mandate), expertise, commitment to our core values, relationship with us, ownership of our equity securities, service on other boards, willingness to commit the required time and ability to work as part of a team; (ii) the current mix of

20


Table of Contents

viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, experience and expertise on our Board; and (iii) the results of our Board's annual self-evaluation.

        While the Board has not adopted a stand-alone diversity policy, our belief in the value of diversity is embodied in our corporate governance processes, as reflected in our Board Mandate. Our Board believes that diversity, including racial, gender, cultural, skill, experiential, thought and geographical diversity, is an important attribute of a well-functioning board. As such, the Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for advising our Board on matters of diversity and for recommending, as necessary, measures contributing to a board that, as a whole, reflects a range of viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, experience and expertise. The implementation of a stand-alone diversity policy is reconsidered by the Nominating and Governance Committee from time to time.

        The company recognizes that diversity is an important attribute of a well-functioning leadership team. As described above, gender is among the forms of diversity that are important considerations in identifying candidates for the Board. Representation of women on our Board and our management team is among the factors we consider in identifying candidates for director or management positions; however, we have not adopted targets regarding representation of women on our Board or our management team. Gender diversity is weighed along with other forms of diversity, including skills, experience, perspective and expertise, and the needs of our Board or management team.

        Since completing our initial public offering in May 2017, we have experienced several management changes, and no changes to our Board of Directors. The first management change we made was the appointment of Lisa M. Shorb to the newly created role of Chief Administrative Officer in January 2018, a position in which she served through the end of 2018 before returning to KMI in January 2019. In August 2018, in connection with the closing of the sale of the Trans Mountain Pipeline System to the Government of Canada, six of our nine then-acting executive officers, including our President, resigned and became employees of the disposed business. At the time of such transition, Mr. Schlosser was elected President and Ms. Mathews and Messrs. Holland and Forman were elected as executive officers.

        The Board is comprised of one female director (approximately 17%) and five male directors (approximately 83%) and, of the six executive officers of the company, one is female (approximately 17%). We and the Nominating and Governance Committee are continuing to develop our priorities and procedures regarding evaluation of candidates for executive and Board positions.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

        The Nominating and Governance Committee's role is to seek, screen and identify individuals qualified to become Board members. Candidates for director may also come to the attention of the Nominating and Governance Committee through other Board members, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates and recommends to our Board nominees for election as directors at each annual meeting of our shareholders and persons to fill vacancies in the Board that occur between annual meetings of our shareholders. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates the skills and attributes desired of prospective directors and, when appropriate, conducts searches for qualified candidates; selects prospective candidates to interview and ascertains whether they meet the qualifications for director described above and as otherwise set forth in the Board Mandate; recommends approval by the entire Board of each selected nominee for election as a director; and approves extending an invitation to join our Board if the invitation is proposed to be extended by any person other than the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

        The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. Shareholders may communicate recommendations for director candidates to the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee by following the procedures described under "Additional

21


Table of Contents

Information—Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for Our 2020 Annual Meeting." In addition, the shareholder should provide such other information as such shareholder may deem relevant for the Nominating and Governance Committee's evaluation.

        The chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee has discretion to determine whether the recommendation should be brought to the attention of the full Board and whether any response to the person sending the communication is appropriate. Any such response will be made through our investor relations department and only in accordance with our policies and procedures and applicable law and regulations relating to the disclosure of information. Our corporate secretary will retain copies of all recommendations received pursuant to these procedures for a period of at least one year. The Nominating and Governance Committee will review the effectiveness of these procedures from time to time and, if appropriate, make changes.

No Incorporation by Reference

        The Report of the Audit Committee, the Report of the Compensation Committee and the performance graph included elsewhere in this proxy statement do not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any of our other filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate either such report or the performance graph by reference therein.


CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Agreements Between the Company and KMI

        We own an approximate 30% indirect equity interest in Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership (the "Limited Partnership"), and KMI owns the remaining approximate 70% equity interest. In addition, KMI's affiliates own special voting shares representing approximately 70% of our company voting shares. Since our initial public offering, we have issued C$550 million of preferred shares which have economic priority over our restricted voting shares and related Class B units of the Limited Partnership.

        The Limited Partnership and Kinder Morgan Canada GP Inc. (the "General Partner") were formed in conjunction with our initial public offering to own our business. KMCSI, a subsidiary of the Limited Partnership, provides certain operational and administrative services for us and our business.

        This section provides a description of the material terms of the principal agreements among the company, KMI, the General Partner and/or the Limited Partnership. The description of each agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the terms of such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC and on SEDAR on February 19, 2019.

Cooperation Agreement

        The Cooperation Agreement provides for certain matters among the company, the Limited Partnership, the General Partner, KMI (in respect of certain matters only), Kinder Morgan Canada Company ("KMCC") and KM Canada Terminals ULC ("KM Canada Terminals"). The company, the Limited Partnership, the General Partner and each person that any of them controls from time to time are referred to as the "Kinder Morgan Canada Group," and KMI and each person that it controls from time to time, other than members of the Kinder Morgan Canada Group, are referred to as the "Kinder Morgan Group." The Cooperation Agreement does not in any way limit the ability of either KMCC or KM Canada Terminals to exercise its rights attached to the special voting shares.

22


Table of Contents

        The Cooperation Agreement includes an acknowledgement by the parties that the Class A Units of the Limited Partnership and the restricted voting shares on the one hand and the Class B Units of the Limited Partnership and the special voting shares on the other hand (collectively, the "Related Securities") are intended to convey, on a per security basis, equivalent rights to participate, directly or indirectly, in distributions of the Limited Partnership (subject to applicable taxes), the exercise of rights of limited partners and voting rights at the company level. To the extent that any Related Securities, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Related Securities, are issued, sold or distributed, the parties will determine whether any adjustments are required to ensure that the equivalency noted above is maintained, and in the event that an adjustment is required and subject to applicable laws, additional Related Securities, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Related Securities, may be issued or distributed on substantially equivalent terms, having regard for the particular attributes of the different classes of the Related Securities. In the event that any class of Related Security is subdivided, consolidated, reclassified or otherwise changed, an equivalent change will be made to the other classes of Related Securities if such a change is required to maintain the equivalency noted above. Subject to applicable laws, if there is a dispute among the parties as to whether an adjustment or change is required in order to maintain such equivalency, any adjustment must be approved on behalf of the General Partner or the company, as applicable, by both the board of directors of the General Partner or the company, as applicable, as a whole, and the independent directors not affiliated with the Kinder Morgan Group.

        Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the parties thereto agreed that any acquisition or investing activity that would be material to the company, on a consolidated basis, will only be undertaken through the Limited Partnership. In addition, KMI has agreed that it will first offer to the company, on behalf of the Kinder Morgan Canada Group, any crude oil, natural gas liquids or refined product infrastructure development opportunities and/or acquisition opportunities (individually an "Opportunity" and collectively the "Opportunities") which currently have or are expected to have a majority of their physical assets and/or infrastructure within the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, except in the event of an Opportunity involving an acquisition of all or any portion of the equity of a publicly traded company or entity or an acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of a publicly traded company or entity, in which cases KMI, in its sole discretion, may determine to pursue the Opportunity on its own behalf. In the event there is a conflict of interest (or potential conflict of interest) between one or more members of the Kinder Morgan Group and the Kinder Morgan Canada Group with respect to any matter or transaction (including a transaction involving the transfer of assets and/or liabilities from a member of the Kinder Morgan Group to a member of the Kinder Morgan Canada Group), the independent members of our Board shall be responsible to take all such actions and make all such decisions (such decisions to be approved, subject to applicable laws, by the majority of the independent members of our Board) relating to such conflict as it pertains to the applicable member of the Kinder Morgan Canada Group.

        Subject to the applicable provisions in the Cooperation Agreement described above, the company, the General Partner and the Limited Partnership expressly consent in the Cooperation Agreement to KMI and its affiliates that are members of the Kinder Morgan Group and their respective officers, directors and employees engaging in any business or activities whatsoever, including those that may be in competition or conflict with the business and/or the interests of, the company.

        Unless terminated earlier by written agreement of the parties, the Cooperation Agreement will terminate when no special voting shares or Class B Units of the Limited Partnership remain outstanding. No party to the Cooperation Agreement may assign its rights or interest thereunder without the express prior written consent of the other parties, which, in the case of the consent of KMCC or KM Canada Terminals, may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion, and, in the case of the consent of any other party, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, KMCC or KM Canada Terminals may assign any or all of its rights or interest under the

23


Table of Contents

Cooperation Agreement to any affiliate of KMI without the consent of the company. The Cooperation Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties, provided that if any amendment constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute, a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest between the Kinder Morgan Canada Group and the Kinder Morgan Group, subject to applicable law, such amendment must be approved on behalf of the company or the General Partner, as applicable, by both the Board and the board of directors of the General Partner, as applicable, as a whole and the independent directors of each entity, as applicable, not affiliated with the Kinder Morgan Group.

Services Agreement

        KMCSI, the company, the General Partner and the Limited Partnership are party to the Services Agreement pursuant to which KMCSI provides certain operational and administrative services in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Kinder Morgan Canada Group, or where requested, will coordinate on behalf of entities in the Kinder Morgan Canada Group to procure assistance and/or support in providing such services from its affiliates, including entities in the Kinder Morgan Group. KMCSI's activities under the Services Agreement are subject to the supervision of our executive officers and Board.

        The operational and administrative services provided by KMCSI to the company, the General Partner and the Limited Partnership under the Services Agreement include certain services to: (i) enable the company to comply with its continuous disclosure and other obligations under applicable laws; (ii) coordinate financing and investing activities of the company, including through the company, the General Partner, the Limited Partnership or other entities in the Kinder Morgan Canada Group; (iii) assist with development, implementation and monitoring of operational plans for the company; (iv) assist in implementing any dividend or distribution reinvestment plans and any incentive plans of the company and the Limited Partnership, as applicable; (v) facilitate performance of required acts and responsibilities in connection with the acquisition and disposition of assets and property by entities in the Kinder Morgan Canada Group; (vi) provide accounting and bookkeeping services, including for the preparation of the annual and interim financial statements of the company and the preparation and filing of all tax returns; and (vii) arrange for audit, legal and other third-party professional and non-professional services. Any support and/or assistance with any services provided by an affiliate of KMCSI outside of the Kinder Morgan Canada Group will be reimbursed at cost, unless otherwise required by applicable laws.

        The Services Agreement shall continue in effect until terminated by mutual agreement of the parties. The Services Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties, provided that if any amendment constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute, a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest between the Kinder Morgan Canada Group and the Kinder Morgan Group, subject to applicable law, such amendment must be approved on behalf of the company or the General Partner by both our Board and the board of directors of the General Partner, as applicable, as a whole, and by the independent directors not affiliated with the Kinder Morgan Group.

Related Party Transaction Approval Policy

        Our written policy requires transactions that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, among others, to be approved or ratified by the non-interested members of the Audit Committee. Any transaction to which we were, or are proposed to be, a party that involves an amount exceeding U.S.$120,000, and in which a director or executive officer (or such person's immediate family member) has a material interest (a "related party transaction") would be subject to this approval requirement. Without weighting any factors, and recognizing that one individual may give more weight to one factor than another individual, we expect that the Audit Committee would consider, among other things, the

24


Table of Contents

nature, size and terms of the transaction, the extent of the interest of the related party in the proposed transaction and the existing relationship of the parties to the proposed transaction.

Other Transactions

        Pursuant to our bylaws, we have agreed to indemnify each of our current and former directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the ABCA, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by such person in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the company, if (i) such person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such person had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. The company may also indemnify such person in such other circumstances as the ABCA or law permits. Thus, our directors and officers could be indemnified for their negligent acts if they meet the requirements set forth above. We also are expressly authorized to carry directors' and officers' insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees and agents for any liabilities incurred in any such capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such persons against such liability.

        Section 16 of the Exchange Act requires our directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

        Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were met during 2018, except that Messrs. Holland's and Forman's and Ms. Mathews' Forms 3 reporting that each of them did not beneficially own any of our securities on August 31, 2018, the date on which they became executive officers, were filed two days late, on September 13, 2018.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

        Messrs. Steven J. Kean, Dax A. Sanders, John W. Schlosser, James E. Holland and Adam S. Forman and Ms. Denise R. Mathews are the executive officers of the company. Ms. Lisa M. Shorb was an executive officer of the Company at year-end but resigned from her position with us and returned to KMI in January 2019. The following discussion describes the compensation of our executive officers, with a focus on the compensation of Mr. Kean, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Sanders and

Table of Contents

Ms. Shorb, our two most highly compensated executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer) serving at fiscal year-end 2018, whom we refer to collectively as our "named executive officers." Each of our named executive officers also currently serves as an executive officer of KMI.

        Except as described below for Ms. Shorb, the compensation of our named executive officers is, and will continue to be, determined exclusively by the board of directors and compensation committee of KMI. A portion of their compensation is allocated to the company for services performed on behalf of the company, and the company reimburses KMI for such allocated amount pursuant to the Services Agreement. No profit or margin is charged in such allocation, unless otherwise required by applicable laws. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Agreements Between the Company and KMI—Services Agreement."

        The following table presents the estimated percentage of the compensation of Mr. Kean, Mr. Sanders, and Ms. Shorb allocated to the company for services they provided to the company during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Steven J. Kean

    7% (a)

Dax A. Sanders

    35 %

Lisa M. Shorb

    91.7 %

(a)
The 7% shown represents the portion of Mr. Kean's compensation allocated by KMI to KML for 2018; however, the percentage of time Mr. Kean spent on KML matters in 2018 was considerably higher.

        The 2018 compensation of Ms. Shorb was determined by the KMI board of directors and was assumed by KML when she began her position as our Chief Administrative Officer in January 2018. In January 2019, our Board approved Ms. Shorb's annual incentive payment for the 2018 performance year, based on recommendations developed by the Compensation Committee in consultation with our senior management. Mr. Kean's and Mr. Sanders' compensation is not subject to approval by our Board. Messrs. Kean and Sanders are compensated by KMI in a manner that is generally consistent with the objectives and philosophies used to develop the compensation packages for KMI's executive officers, as described in KMI's proxy statement. In addition, Ms. Shorb is compensated by KMI in a similar manner under the same KMI compensation packages. The following discussion includes information relating to compensation paid to Mr. Kean, Mr. Sanders, and Ms. Shorb by KMI and allocated to KML as described above. Such information was provided to us by KMI and does not purport to be a complete discussion and analysis of Mr. Kean's, Mr. Sanders' or Ms. Shorb's total compensation by KMI or KMI's executive compensation philosophies and practices. For a more complete analysis of the compensation programs and philosophies of KMI, read Executive Compensation within KMI's proxy statement, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019.

        The compensation of our named executive officers is paid in U.S. dollars and is determined without the use of compensation consultants.

Elements of Compensation

        KMI's 2018 executive compensation program was principally composed of four elements: (i) a base salary; (ii) a possible annual cash bonus; (iii) long-term KMI incentive equity awards; and (iv) dividend equivalents on long-term KMI incentive equity awards.

31


Table of Contents

Base Salary

        Base salary is paid in cash. The KMI Compensation Committee maintained an annual base salary cap for KMI's executive officers, including the named executive officers, of U.S.$400,000 until July 2018 when it was increased to $500,000. In January 2018, the KMI Compensation Committee did not increase the salaries of our named executive officers. Mr. Kean, at his request, receives an annual base salary of U.S.$1. The cap will be evaluated on an ongoing basis.

Possible Annual Cash Bonus (Non-Equity Cash Incentive)

        The KMI Amended and Restated Annual Incentive Plan (referred to as the "KMI Annual Incentive Plan") was adopted by KMI's board and approved by KMI's stockholders in 2015. The KMI Annual Incentive Plan provides for the possible payment of annual cash bonuses that are dependent on individual and company performance. The KMI Annual Incentive Plan provides for the clawback of cash compensation received under the KMI Annual Incentive Plan to the extent required by KMI's executive compensation clawback policy. See the KMI proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019 for details on the KMI Annual Incentive Plan and the basis of the annual incentive plan payments for the 2018 performance year.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

KMI

        All long-term incentive compensation to our current named executive officers has been granted under KMI plans. KMI typically grants long-term incentive equity awards to executives each year in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. Long-term incentive equity awards granted prior to January 2015 were issued under and are subject to KMI's 2011 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (referred to as the KMI 2011 Plan), and awards granted in or after January 2015 are subject to the terms of KMI's 2015 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (referred to as the KMI 2015 Plan). The KMI 2015 Plan provides for clawback of equity compensation received under the KMI 2015 Plan to the extent required under KMI's executive compensation clawback policy. The minimum vesting period for awards under the KMI 2015 Plan is 36 months, subject to a 5% exception to allow for shorter vesting periods in certain circumstances. Our named executive officers who received restricted stock awards also receive dividend equivalents on their restricted stock awards. See the KMI proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019 for details on KMI's long-term incentive compensation plans.

KML

        Our Board adopted the 2017 Restricted Share Unit Plan for Employees (the "RSU Plan") for employees of the company and its affiliates (including employees of KMCSI, as the service provider under the Services Agreement) ("Grantees"). The purpose of the RSU Plan is to provide incentive to employees of the company and its affiliates for future endeavors and to advance the interests of the company and its shareholders and to enable the company to compete effectively for the services of employees. The RSU Plan is administered by the Board, which will have authority to construe and interpret the RSU Plan, including any questions in respect of any restricted share units ("RSUs") granted thereunder.

        In accordance with the RSU Plan, following the Return of Capital and the Share Consolidation, the Board approved adjustments to the number of RSUs outstanding and to the number of RSUs available for grant under the RSU Plan. As of December 31, 2018, an aggregate of 179,302 RSUs were outstanding under the RSU Plan, which entitle the holders to receive an aggregate of 179,302 restricted voting shares (representing 0.51% of our issued and outstanding restricted voting shares). As of December 31, 2018, after deducting 156,140 RSUs available for grant under the Director RSU Plan, an

32


Table of Contents

aggregate of 1,188,953 RSUs were available for grant under the RSU Plan, representing 3.4% of our issued and outstanding restricted voting shares. See "—Restricted Voting Shares Reserved for Issuance" below.

        In 2018, there were 85,104 RSUs granted under the RSU Plan (not giving effect to the Share Consolidation), which resulted in a burn rate of 0.08%. Giving effect to the Share Consolidation, the equivalent of 28,368 RSUs were granted in under the RSU Plan 2018.

    Grants and Vesting of RSU Awards

        Under the RSU Plan, the company may, in its discretion, award RSUs to Grantees. Each RSU is a theoretical restricted voting share with a notional value equivalent to the value of a restricted voting share. RSUs will vest and be settled at the end of a "restricted period" determined by the Board. Upon the expiration of the restricted period, and subject to the satisfaction of any performance goals (as described below) required to be achieved for all or a portion of such RSUs to vest and become payable, the company will pay the Grantee either (i) a number of restricted voting shares equal to the number of vested RSUs, or (ii) an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the restricted voting shares otherwise issuable (generally being the closing price of the restricted voting shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on the day of vesting).

        At the discretion of the Board, each RSU may be credited with cash and stock dividends equivalent to those paid on a restricted voting share while the RSU is outstanding, and such cash dividend equivalents will be paid to the Grantee in cash either at approximately the time such dividends are paid on the restricted voting shares or at the time of settlement of the RSU. If the Board elects to defer such cash dividend equivalent payments until settlement and an RSU is forfeited prior to settlement, the Grantee will have no right to such dividend equivalent payments.

        In connection with the grant of RSUs, the Board of Directors may set certain performance goals that must be achieved in order for all or a portion of such RSUs to vest and become payable at the end of the applicable restricted period. Such performance goals will generally consist of one or more financial or operational metrics or share performance metrics. Any payments made under the RSU Plan are subject to applicable withholding tax requirements.

    Restricted Voting Shares Reserved for Issuance

        The RSU Plan provides that the number of restricted voting shares that may be issued pursuant to RSU awards shall not exceed 1,666,666 restricted voting shares at any time. Additionally, the RSU Plan provides that the number of restricted voting shares reserved for issuance under all "security based compensation arrangements" (as defined by the TSX) shall not exceed 1,666,666 restricted voting shares. A "security based compensation arrangement" generally means any other plan under which equity securities can be issued from the company's treasury, which includes our Director RSU Plan described below under "Director Compensation—Restricted Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors."

        If any RSU is terminated, cancelled or has expired without vesting, or is settled for cash, any unissued restricted voting shares which have been reserved for issuance upon the vesting and settlement of the RSU shall become available to be issued upon the settlement of RSUs subsequently granted under the RSU Plan.

        In addition, no RSUs shall be granted under the RSU Plan if, together with any other security based compensation arrangement established or maintained by the company, such grant of RSUs could result, at any time, in the aggregate number of restricted voting shares (i) issued to insiders of the company, within any one-year period and (ii) issuable to insiders of the company, at any time, exceeding the lesser of 1,345,093 restricted voting shares and 10% of the issued and outstanding restricted voting shares.

33


Table of Contents

    Forfeiture in Certain Circumstances

        RSUs shall be subject to forfeiture until the expiration of the restricted period and satisfaction of any applicable performance goals during such period (as determined by the Board and set forth in the applicable RSU award agreement). To the extent such RSUs are forfeited, all rights of the Grantee to such RSUs shall terminate. Upon the termination of employment with or service to the company or any of its affiliates during the applicable restricted period, RSUs held by a Grantee shall be forfeited, unless the Board determines that such forfeiture will be waived in whole or in part in the applicable award agreement or otherwise. In the event of a change in control (as such term is defined in the RSU Plan), the Board, in its discretion, may take any action with respect to outstanding RSUs that it deems appropriate, which action may vary among RSUs granted to individual Grantees.

    Effect of Certain Transactions

        If the outstanding restricted voting shares shall be changed in number or class by reason of split-ups, spin-offs, combinations, mergers, consolidations or recapitalizations, or by reason of stock dividends, the number of RSUs which may be issued pursuant to RSU awards shall be adjusted so as to reflect such change, all as determined by the Board. If there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding restricted voting shares, or of any share or other securities or property into which such restricted voting shares shall have been changed or exchanged, then if the Board determines that such change equitably requires an adjustment in any RSU award, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination. All such adjustments shall be subject to the approval of the TSX.

        Notwithstanding the above, but subject to any particular award agreement, in the event of any of the following: (i) the company is merged or consolidated with another corporation or entity and, in connection therewith, consideration is received by shareholders of the company in a form other than stock or other equity interests of the surviving entity or outstanding RSU awards are not to be assumed upon consummation of the proposed transaction; (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of the company are acquired by another person; (iii) the reorganization or liquidation of the company; or (iv) the company shall enter into a written agreement to undergo an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, then the Board may, in its discretion and upon at least 10 days' advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding RSU awards and cause the holders thereof to be paid in cash the value of such RSU awards based upon the price per restricted voting share received or to be received by holders of restricted voting shares in the applicable event. Furthermore, in the event of a change in control of the company, the Board, in its discretion, may take any action with respect to outstanding RSU awards that it deems appropriate, which action may vary among RSU awards granted to individual Grantees; provided, however, that such action shall not reduce the value of an RSU award.

    Amendments to the RSU Plan

        The Board may, at any time, without the approval of our shareholders, suspend, discontinue or amend the RSU Plan or an RSU awarded thereunder. However, the Board may not amend the RSU Plan or an RSU without the approval of the holders of a majority of company voting shares who vote at a shareholder meeting to: (i) increase the number of restricted voting shares, or the percentage of the issued and outstanding company voting shares, reserved for issuance pursuant to the RSU Plan; (ii) expand the categories of individuals who are eligible to participate in the RSU Plan; (iii) remove or increase the limits on the number of restricted voting shares issuable to any individual holder or to insiders as described under "—Restricted Voting Shares Reserved for Issuance" above; (iv) permit the transfer or assignment of RSUs, except to permit a transfer to a family member, an entity controlled by the holder of the RSUs or a family member, a charity or for estate planning or estate settlement purposes; or (v) amend the amendment provisions of the RSU Plan; unless the change to the RSU

34


Table of Contents

Plan or an RSU results from the application of the customary anti-dilution provisions of the RSU Plan. Additionally, no suspension, discontinuance or amendment may be made by the Board in respect of previously issued RSUs that would adversely alter or impair those awards without the consent of the affected holder. For greater certainty, the exercise by the Board of any discretion provided for in the RSU Plan, including to set or amend applicable performance goals, will not be considered to be an amendment to the RSU Plan or an RSU. Any amendments to the RSU Plan are also subject to the requirements of the TSX or other applicable regulatory bodies.

Other Compensation

        Kinder Morgan Savings Plan.    The Kinder Morgan Savings Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan. The plan permits eligible employees of KMI, including KML's named executive officers, to contribute between 1% and 50% of eligible base compensation and overtime, subject to limits established by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, on a pre-tax or Roth 401(k) basis, into participant accounts. In addition, KMI contributes 5% of eligible base compensation, subject to limits established by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, into participant accounts for most employees of KMI, including KML's named executive officers.

Potential Payments upon Death, Disability, Termination or a Change in Control

        Our named executive officers are entitled to certain benefits in the event of death, disability, termination of employment or a change in control of KMI. The plans and circumstances triggering such benefits are described below.

KMI Annual Incentive Plan

        The KMI Annual Incentive Plan provides the KMI Compensation Committee with discretion to take action that it deems appropriate with respect to outstanding awards upon a "Change in Control" of KMI, as defined in the plan.

        If a participant ceases to be employed by KMI prior to the date the award is distributed, other than in the case of participant's death as described below, the participant will forfeit all rights to the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of participant's death on or after January 1 of the calendar year following the end of a performance year but before distribution of an award, the award shall be distributed to the participant's estate.

Severance Upon Termination

        All of our executive officers are eligible for severance payments upon termination under the Kinder Morgan Severance Plan (which is available to all regular full time U.S.-based employees not covered by a bargaining agreement), which caps severance payments at an amount equal to six months of annual base salary.

Restricted Stock Awards

        Our named executive officers who received restricted stock awards under the KMI 2011 Plan or the KMI 2015 Plan are entitled to accelerated vesting in certain termination or change-in-control circumstances under the award agreements governing their grants. The award agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon (i) a "Change in Control" of KMI or (ii) termination of the employee's employment by reason of (a) death, (b) disability that results in KMI determining that the employee cannot perform the essential functions of his or her job, with or without a reasonable accommodation, (c) an involuntary termination by KMI due to a reorganization or reduction in force for which the employee would be eligible for pay under the Kinder Morgan Severance Plan, or (d) the sale of KMI or the sale, transfer or discontinuation of any part of the operations or any of KMI's business units.

35


Table of Contents

The award agreements also provide for pro-rata vesting upon retirement at age 62 or older, subject to attainment of a performance goal (payment of a dividend equal to at least 90% of the dividend paid in the same quarter of the preceding year) in the quarter following the quarter in which the retirement occurs.

        The definition of "Change in Control" is the same as that in the KMI Annual Incentive Plan described above under "KMI Annual Incentive Plan."

Kinder Morgan Savings Plan

        Under the Kinder Morgan Savings Plan, in the event of death or termination of employment, our named executive officers, or their beneficiaries, would be entitled to receive his or her vested benefits under the plan.

Other Potential Post-Employment Benefits

        In addition to the benefits described above, each executive would receive payments for amounts of base salary and vacation time accrued through the date of termination and payment for any reimbursable business expenses incurred prior to the date of termination.

Restricted Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors

    Overview

        The company has adopted a Restricted Share Unit Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director RSU Plan") for directors who are not salaried employees of the company or KMI ("Non-Employee Directors"). The purpose of the Director RSU Plan is to align the compensation of Non-Employee Directors with the interests of the company and its shareholders.

        The Director RSU Plan is administered by the Board, which has the authority to construe and interpret the Director RSU Plan, including any questions in respect of any RSUs granted thereunder.

        In accordance with the Director RSU Plan, following the Share Consolidation, the Board approved an adjustment to the number of RSUs available for grant under the Director RSU Plan. As of December 31, 2018, there were no RSUs outstanding under the Director RSU Plan. As of

39


Table of Contents

December 31, 2018, an aggregate of 156,140 RSUs were available for grant under the Director RSU Plan, representing 0.45% of the issued and outstanding restricted voting shares.

        In 2018, there were 20,000 RSUs granted under the Director RSU Plan (not giving effect to the Share Consolidation), which resulted in a burn rate of 0.02%. Giving effect to the Share Consolidation, the equivalent of 6,667 RSUs were granted in under the Director RSU Plan 2018.

    Grants and Vesting of RSUs

        Under the Director RSU Plan, a Non-Employee Director may elect to receive, in satisfaction of all or a portion of cash compensation otherwise payable to the Non-Employee Director in accordance with the company's director compensation program, a number of RSUs with a notional value, based on the fair market value of restricted voting shares (generally being the closing price of the restricted voting shares on the TSX on the day the cash compensation is awarded), equal to the value of the cash compensation elected to be satisfied in the form of RSUs. Any RSUs granted under the Director RSU Plan are subject to forfeiture restrictions, which lapse no later than the end of the calendar year to which the cash compensation underlying the RSUs relates.

        The restricted voting shares issued to Non-Employee Directors in settlement of RSUs granted under the Director RSU Plan may either be newly issued restricted voting shares, or restricted voting shares purchased on the open market on behalf of the Non-Employee Director.

        At the discretion of the Board, each RSU may be credited with cash and stock dividends equivalent to those paid on a restricted voting share while the RSU is outstanding, and such cash dividend equivalents will be paid to the Non-Employee Director in cash either at approximately the time such dividends are paid on the restricted voting shares or at the time of settlement of the RSU. If the Board elects to defer such cash dividend equivalent payments until settlement and an RSU is forfeited prior to settlement, the Non-Employee Director will have no right to such dividend equivalent payments.

        Any payments made under the Director RSU Plan are subject to applicable withholding tax requirements.

    Restricted Voting Shares Reserved for Issuance

        The Director RSU Plan provides that the number of restricted voting shares that may be issued or issuable from the treasury of the company pursuant to Director RSU Plan awards shall not exceed 166,666 restricted voting shares. Additionally, the Director RSU Plan provides that the number of restricted voting shares reserved for issuance from the treasury of the company under all "security based compensation arrangements" (as defined by the TSX) shall not exceed 1,666,666 restricted voting shares. As of the date of this proxy statement, the company's security based compensation arrangements are the RSU Plan and the Director RSU Plan.

        In addition, no restricted voting shares may be issued under the Director RSU Plan if, together with any other security based compensation arrangement established or maintained by the company, such grant of restricted voting shares could result, at any time, in the aggregate number of restricted voting shares (i) issued to insiders of the company, within any one-year period and (ii) issuable to insiders of the company, exceeding the lesser of 1,666,666 restricted voting shares and 10% of the issued and outstanding restricted voting shares.

    Forfeiture in Certain Circumstances

        RSUs issued under the Director RSU Plan are subject to forfeiture until the expiration of the forfeiture restrictions. To the extent such RSUs are forfeited, all rights of the Non-Employee Director

40


Table of Contents

to such RSUs shall terminate. Upon the termination of service as a director prior to the lapsing of the applicable forfeiture restrictions, such RSUs shall be forfeited.

        In the event of a change in control (as such term is defined in the Director RSU Plan), the Board, in its discretion, may take any action that it deems appropriate with respect to outstanding RSUs in respect of which the forfeiture restrictions have not lapsed.

    Effect of Certain Transactions

        In the event of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, share dividend, share split or other change in our structure affecting the restricted voting shares, such adjustment shall be made in the number of Director RSUs outstanding and/or restricted voting shares available under the Director RSU Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Board, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, provided that any such adjustment shall be subject to the approval of the TSX.

    Amendments to the Director RSU Plan

        The Board may, at any time, without the approval of our shareholders, suspend, discontinue or amend the Director RSU Plan or an RSU awarded thereunder. However, the Board may not amend the Director RSU Plan or an RSU without the approval of the holders of a majority of company voting shares who vote at a shareholder meeting to: (i) increase the number of restricted voting shares, or the percentage of the issued and outstanding company voting shares, reserved for issuance pursuant to the Director RSU Plan; (ii) expand the categories of individuals who are eligible to participate in the Director RSU Plan; (iii) remove or increase the limits on the number of restricted voting shares issuable to any individual holder or to insiders as described under "—Restricted Voting Shares Reserved for Issuance" above; or (iv) amend the amendment provisions of the Director RSU Plan; unless the change to the Director RSU Plan or an RSU results from the application of the customary anti-dilution provisions of the Director RSU Plan. Additionally, no suspension, discontinuance or amendment may be made by the Board in respect of previously issued RSUs that would adversely alter or impair those awards without the consent of the affected Non-Employee Director. For greater certainty, the exercise by the Board of any discretion provided for in the Director RSU Plan will not be considered to be an amendment to the Director RSU Plan or an RSU. Any amendments to the Director RSU Plan are also subject to the requirements of the TSX or other applicable regulatory bodies.


PERFORMANCE GRAPH

Cumulative Total Return

        The following performance graph compares the annual performance of our restricted voting shares to Standard & Poor's TSX Composite Total Returns Index and to a group of peer issuers selected by us for the period beginning on May 30, 2017, the date on which we completed the initial public offering of our restricted voting shares, and ending on December 31, 2018. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in our restricted voting shares and each index was $100 at May 30, 2017, and that all dividends were reinvested. Total net return to our shareholders during this period was 3.63%, as compared to an average return of negative 2.20% for Standard & Poor's TSX Composite Total Returns Index and negative 1.29% for the S&P/TSX Oil & Gas Storage and Transportation Index for the same period. The total net return to our shareholders of 3.63% was calculated using the initial public

ITEM 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        All of our incumbent directors are standing for re-election to our Board. All directors are elected annually and serve a one-year term or until his or her successor has been duly elected. To be elected to the Board, the number of votes cast "FOR" a nominee's election must exceed the number of votes "WITHHELD" for such nominee's election.

        Pursuant to the company's majority voting requirements, except in the case of a contested election, a nominee must receive more votes cast "for" than "withheld" his or her election or re-election in order to be elected or re-elected to the Board. If a director does not receive a greater number of votes "for" his or her election than votes "withheld" from his or her election, that director shall tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Board promptly following confirmation of the shareholder vote. Following receipt of such resignation, the Board will promptly consider the tendered resignation and will determine whether to accept or reject the director's resignation within 90 days following the date of the shareholders' meeting at which the election occurred. The Board shall accept the resignation except in exceptional circumstances.

        Promptly following the Board's decision, the company will disclose that decision, including an explanation of the process by which the decision was reached and, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the tendered resignation, in a press release, a copy of which will be provided to the TSX.

        Any director who is required to tender his or her resignation pursuant to the company's majority voting requirements will not participate in the Board's consideration of whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or in any Board meeting relating to the acceptance or rejection of such recommendation.

Information about the Nominees

Each of the nominees has agreed to be named in this proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected.

ITEM 2
APPOINTMENT OF
PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP (UNITED STATES) AS OUR
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

        The Audit Committee of our Board has recommended that PwC US be appointed as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and that the remuneration of PwC US for such year be fixed by the directors or the company.

        On August 31, 2018, we completed the sale of the Trans Mountain Pipeline system and the related Trans Mountain expansion project. As a result of that transaction, most of the company's accounting functions are now managed out of Houston, Texas. Accordingly, on October 24, 2018, the company

43


Table of Contents

changed its principal independent registered public accountant from PwC Canada to PwC US. This change constituted a resignation by PwC Canada and the engagement of PwC US because PwC Canada and PwC US are separate legal entities. The decision to change independent registered public accountants was approved by our Audit Committee on October 24, 2018. PwC Canada served as our independent auditor from May 23, 2017 to October 24, 2018, and PwC US has served as our independent auditor from October 24, 2018. A copy of the current report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC and on SEDAR to report our change in auditors, including the letter of PwC Canada that was filed as an exhibit, is attached hereto as Schedule C.

        Services provided to us and our subsidiaries by PwC Canada and PwC US in fiscal 2018 included the audit of our consolidated financial statements, reviews of quarterly financial statements and services in connection with various SEC and SEDAR filings. See "Committees of the Board of Directors—Audit Committee—Audit Matters" for information about PwC Canada's and PwC US's fees.

        Representatives of PwC US will be present at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make such statements as they may desire.

        The affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the votes cast will be required for approval. Proxies will be voted for the proposal unless otherwise specified.

Recommendation

        OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP (UNITED STATES) AS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FOR 2019 AND THAT THE DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION BE AUTHORIZED TO FIX THE REMUNERATION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP (UNITED STATES) FOR SUCH FISCAL YEAR.

        In the event shareholders do not appoint PwC US, the selection will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee and our Board.


INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

        To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the company, none of the directors, proposed directors or executive officers of the company or anyone who has held such office since our initial public offering in May 2017, or any associate or affiliate of the foregoing, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the annual meeting, except as otherwise disclosed in this proxy statement.


OTHER MATTERS

        As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no business that will be presented for consideration at the annual meeting other than the items referred to above. If any other matter is properly brought before the annual meeting for action by shareholders, proxies returned to us will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holder.

SCHEDULE A

KINDER MORGAN CANADA LIMITED
MANDATE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        The following mandate (the "Mandate") established by the board of directors (the "Board") of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (the "Company") provides a structure within which directors and management can effectively pursue the Company's objectives.

I.
Objectives Sought to be Achieved by this Mandate

        This Mandate has been adopted by the Board with a view to promoting:

    Transparency in reporting the Company's financial condition and results of operations, its business activities and other information about the Company, its management and its Board to regulatory authorities, the Company's shareholders and the Company's other constituencies;

    Compliance with not only the literal requirements but also the Board's perception of the intended purposes of applicable laws, rules and regulations; and

    Institutional behavior that conforms to governance standards that exceed the consensus view of minimum acceptable corporate governance standards.

II.
Composition of the Board of Directors and Majority Voting Requirements

        It is the policy of the Board that the Board will reflect the following characteristics:

    Each director shall be a person of integrity who is dedicated, industrious, honest, candid, fair and discreet;

    Each director shall be knowledgeable, or willing to become so quickly, in the critical aspects of the Company's business and operations;

    Each director shall be experienced and skillful in serving as a member of, overseer of, or trusted advisor to, the senior management or board of at least one substantial corporation, charity, institution or other enterprise; and

    The Board shall encompass a range of talent, skill and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the full scope of the Company's operations and interests.

        Prospective candidates for director may be suggested to the Board by any director or by such other sources as the Board may choose. The Board will also consider persons suggested by shareholders prospective candidates for director. The Board may adopt policies and procedures with respect to the manner in which shareholders may make such suggestions, including requirements that must be satisfied by the shareholder and suggested nominee before the suggestion will be considered by the Board. Appropriate candidates shall be interviewed by the Chair of the Board or any other director who wishes to do so and nominees shall be recommended by the Chair of the Board to the full Board for its consideration.

        Forms of proxy for the vote at shareholders' meetings where directors are to be elected will enable shareholders to vote "for", or to "withhold" from voting, separately for each nominee. Other than in the case of a contested election, a nominee must receive more votes cast "for" than "withhold" his or her election or re-election in order to be elected or re-elected to the Board. If, in the case of an uncontested election, a director receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" his or her election, that director shall tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Board promptly following confirmation of the shareholder vote. Following receipt of such resignation, the Board will promptly consider the tendered resignation and will determine whether to

Schedule A - Page 1


Table of Contents

accept or reject the director's resignation within 90 days following the date of the shareholders' meeting at which the election occurred. The Board shall accept the resignation except in exceptional circumstances.

        Promptly following the Board's decision, the Company will disclose that decision, including an explanation of the process by which the decision was reached and, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the tendered resignation, in a press release which press release will also be provided to the TSX.

        Any director who is required to tender his or her resignation pursuant to the above majority voting requirements will not participate in the Board's consideration of whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or in any Board meeting relating to the acceptance or rejection of such recommendation. In the event that any director does not tender his or her resignation in accordance with these majority voting requirements shall not be nominated for re-election and shall not be entitled to any benefits (financial or otherwise) as a director or past director of the Company.

III.
Functions of the Board of Directors

        The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, and the Company shall have such officers with such duties as determined by the Board. The Board will consider all major decisions of the Company. However, the Board may delegate certain of its powers and authorities that the directors, or independent directors, as applicable, deem necessary or desirable to effect the efficient administration of the duties of the Board. Under the services agreement (the "Services Agreement") among the Company, Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. ("KMCI"), Kinder Morgan Canada GP Inc. (the "General Partner"), and Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership (the "Limited Partnership"), KMCI will provide services with respect to certain aspects of the management, operation and administration of the business and affairs of the Company, the General Partner and the Limited Partnership (and each entity that they control from time to time, collectively, the "Business"). References in this Mandate to management or employees of the Company, include all employees of KMCI or any of its affiliates performing services for the Business pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement. In addition, the Company has entered into a cooperation agreement with Kinder Morgan, Inc. ("Kinder Morgan"), KM Canada Terminals ULC, Kinder Morgan Canada Company, the General Partner and the Limited Partnership (the "Cooperation Agreement") which provides for, among other things, certain matters relating to the relationships among Kinder Morgan, Inc. the Company, the General Partner, the Limited Partnership and the holders of partnership units in the Limited Partnership.

        In accordance with the Company's by-laws and subject to the direction of the Board, management will manage the business and affairs of the Company in a manner consistent with the standards set forth in this Mandate, and, where applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Services Agreement, the terms of the Cooperation Agreement and any specific plans, instructions or directions of the Board. In addition to its regular responsibilities to report to and to seek Board approvals when appropriate, subject to the Services Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement, management shall seek the advice and, in appropriate situations, the approval of the Board with respect to extraordinary actions to be undertaken by the Company.

        At its regularly scheduled meetings during each year, the Board will review and discuss reports by management on the performance of the Business, its plans and prospects, as well as immediate and longer-term issues facing the Business. In addition to its general oversight of the Company and the

Schedule A - Page 2

matters set out in the Company's by-laws, the responsibilities of the Board and its standing committees shall, subject to the terms of the Services Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement, include:

    paying a commission to any person in consideration of that person purchasing or agreeing to purchase shares of the Company from the Company or from any other person, or procuring or agreeing to procure purchasers for shares of the Company;

    approving any required management proxy circulars;

    approving any required annual financial statements; or

    adopting, amending or repealing the by-laws of the Company.

IV.
Director Independence

        The Board shall have such number of "independent" (as such term is defined by National Instrument 58-101—Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NI 58-101")) directors as required by applicable law. Directors who do not meet the independence standards of NI 58-101 may nevertheless make valuable contributions to the Board and to the Company by reason of their experience and wisdom,

Schedule A - Page 3


Table of Contents

and the Company expects to have some directors who are members of management or who otherwise are not independent.

        The Board will affirmatively determine annually, generally at the regularly scheduled first quarter meeting of the Board, based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, whether each director is "independent." In making this determination, the Board will affirmatively determine whether each director has any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. If a director is determined to have such a relationship, he or she cannot be considered independent.

        Directors have an affirmative obligation to inform the Board of all material information regarding their circumstances or relationships that may impact their characterization by the Board as "independent" or that may give rise to an actual or perceived conflict of interest, including responding promptly to questionnaires circulated by or on behalf of the Chair of the Board or the Company that are designed to elicit relevant information regarding business and other relationships. This obligation includes all business relationships among directors or between directors and the Company and its affiliates or members of senior management and their affiliates.

        In the event that the Board does not have an independent Chair of the Board, it will appoint a Lead Director and develop a procedure for the independent directors to function independently of management and, where necessary, Kinder Morgan. The Board will have a fixed in camera agenda item for each Board and committee meeting, during which independent directors, under the direction of the Lead Director or committee chair, may meet without any members of management or non-independent directors present. The Lead Director will be responsible for moderating the in camera Board of Directors meetings held by the Board's independent directors and acting as principal liaison between the independent directors and the Chair of the Board on matters dealt with in such in camera sessions. In the absence of the Chair of the Board; the Lead Director shall preside at meetings of the Board.

V.
Board Leadership

        In addition to the duties of a regular Board member and those set forth in the Company's by-laws applicable to the office (if any), the Chair of the Board has the following specific responsibilities:

    schedule Board meetings in a manner that enables the Board and its committees to perform their duties responsibly while not interfering with the ongoing operations of the Company or the Business;

    prepare, in consultation with the Company's executive officers, committee chairs and other directors, the agendas for the Board meetings;

    monitor the relationships and flow of information between senior management and the Board and assess whether such relationships and the quantity, substance and timeliness of that information conforms to the expectations of the Board;

    interview appropriate Board candidates, and discuss with the other Board members, the Chair of the Board's impression of such candidates;

    conduct an annual review and evaluation of the conduct and performance of the Board and the conduct and performance of management;

    consult with the Board with respect to the membership of the various Board committees and the recommendation of the committee chairs; and

    assist the Board in the implementation of this Mandate.

VI.
Director's Access to Management and Outside Advisors

        Each director shall have full access to: (a) senior management; (b) information about the Company's operations; and (c) any outside advisor to the Company. The Board will work with senior management to, where appropriate, have operating heads of the major business segments of the Business brought to Board meetings from time to time who can provide additional insight into the items being discussed because of personal involvement in those areas. The Board or any committee may request any officer or employee or the Company's counsel or other advisors or consultants to attend a meeting of the Board or such committee, as the case may be, or to meet with any member of or advisor to the Board or such committee.

VII.
Outside Experts

        While the information needed for the Board's decision making generally will be found within the Company or from management, from time to time the Board may seek legal, accounting or other expert advice from sources independent of management.

        Each standing committee of the Board shall have the sole authority, without further authorization from the Board, to engage, compensate, oversee and terminate external independent consultants, counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary to carry out its duties, including, in the case of the Audit Committee, the resolution of any disagreements between management and the Company's external auditors regarding financial reporting. The Company shall provide appropriate funding (as determined by each standing committee) for payment of compensation to advisors engaged by any such committee.

        The Board may also engage, compensate, oversee and terminate external consultants, counsel and other advisors as it deems necessary to carry out its duties. The Company shall provide appropriate funding (as determined by the Board) for payment of compensation to advisors engaged by the Board as a whole.

VIII.
Board Meetings

        The Chair of the Board, in consultation with the other members of the Board, shall determine the timing and length of the meetings of the Board. The Board expects that four regular meetings at appropriate intervals will be sufficient for the discharge of the Board's normal responsibilities. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, special Board meetings may be called upon appropriate notice at any time to address specific needs of the Company.

        Directors are expected to attend and participate in person in each regularly scheduled Board meeting, as well as any meetings of committees of which they are members associated with a regularly scheduled Board meeting. It is recognized, however, that telephone or video conference participation by a director may be necessary from time to time and that such participation is preferable to a director missing a Board meeting.

        The Chair of the Board shall establish the agenda for each Board meeting after consulting with the other directors and senior management. Each agenda for a regularly scheduled Board meeting will include an "Other Business" segment. Each director shall be entitled to suggest the inclusion of items on the agenda, request the presence of or a report by any member of senior management or raise subjects during the "Other Business" segment of each regularly scheduled Board meeting that are not on the agenda for that meeting. The Chair of the Board shall circulate the final agenda among the directors. To the extent deemed appropriate by management, the operating heads of the major business segments of the Business shall be afforded an opportunity to make presentations to the Board. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President of Pipelines and President of

Schedule A - Page 5


Table of Contents

Terminals (if not directors) shall attend each meeting of the Board, unless requested otherwise by the Board.

IX.
Board Materials

        Analyses and empirical data are important to the directors' understanding of the business to be conducted at a meeting of the Board or any committee. Directors should receive appropriate information and data that are important to their understanding of the business of the Company in sufficient time to prepare for meetings and in any event, if practicable, at least two business days prior to any regularly scheduled meeting in the case of a regular agenda item and as promptly as practicable thereafter with respect to any special agenda item. Such information and data relating to matters to be addressed at a specially scheduled meeting shall be received by directors as soon as practicable prior to the meeting. Efforts shall be made to make this material concise but in sufficient detail to provide the requisite information and a reasonable basis on which the directors can make informed business decisions; it shall be analytic as well as informational; and it shall include highlights and summaries whenever appropriate. The material may be distributed by electronic means, regular mail, fax, courier, or overnight mail. The Board recognizes the importance of directors reviewing and being familiar with the information furnished to them prior to meetings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is recognized that under certain circumstances certain written materials may not be made available in advance of a meeting.

        Directors may request that the appropriate members of senior management present to the Board information on specific topics relating to the Company or the Business and its operations.

X.
Board Committees and Committee Membership

        The Board has four standing committees, the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Health Safety and Environment Committee. The Board may form a new committee or disband a committee if, in its view, it is appropriate to do so, provided that the Board will always have an audit committee. The Board may determine among its members the members of its committees, provided that the members of the Audit Committee may be chosen solely from those directors that meet the independence requirements of National Instrument 52-110—Audit Committees.

        In addition to the Audit Committee the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Health Safety and Environment Committee, the Board may from time to time designate additional or ad hoc committees in conformity with the Company's by-laws. Each committee shall have the authority and responsibilities delineated in, and act in accordance with, the Company's by-laws, the resolutions creating it, its applicable charter, if any, and this Mandate. The Board may alter or amend the charter of any standing committee at any time and shall also have the authority to disband any ad hoc or standing committee when it deems it appropriate to do so, provided that the Company shall at all times have such committees as may be required by the by-laws, applicable law or listing standards.

        Each standing committee shall have a written charter, which shall be approved by the full Board and state the purpose of such committee. Committee charters shall be reviewed at least annually and revised as necessary to reflect the activities of each of the respective committees, changes in applicable law, regulation or listing requirements and other relevant matters, and proposed revisions to such charters shall be approved by the full Board. If any director ceases to be independent under the standards set forth herein or required by law or listing standards while serving on any committee whose members must be independent, he or she shall promptly resign from that committee.

        The members of any standing committee of the Board will be appointed annually by the Board, generally at or prior to the regularly scheduled first quarter meeting of the Board, to serve for an

Schedule A - Page 6


Table of Contents

annual term and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Any member of a committee or committee chair may resign or, subject to the by-laws, be removed by the Board from membership on the committee or as chair. Any committee chair will periodically report the applicable committee's findings and conclusions to the Board.

        The Company will provide appropriate funding, as determined by each standing committee or the Board, as the case may be, for the ordinary administrative expenses of each committee and the Board that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

XI.
Committee Meetings

        Each committee chair, in consultation with the Chair of the Board, other directors and senior management, shall establish agendas and set meetings in accordance with that committee's charter at the frequency and length appropriate and necessary to carry out the committee's responsibilities.

        Any director who is not a member of a particular committee may attend any committee meeting with the concurrence of the committee chair or a majority of the members of that committee.

        Any director who so requests will be placed on the list to receive all information circulated to the members of any standing committee, unless the committee chair requests otherwise.

        At every meeting of any committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum and, the by-laws of the Company, the act of a majority of such members present shall be deemed to constitute the act of such committee. Unless otherwise provided in the by-laws, the charter of a committee or in procedures adopted by the committee, meetings of committees may be called in the same manner and on the same notice as set forth for meetings of directors in the Company's by-laws, and a committee may act by unanimous written consent.

XII.
Board Conduct and Review

        Members of the Board shall act at all times in accordance with the standards applicable to directors of the Company under the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws, the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), this Mandate and the requirements of the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Ethics").

        The Board, under the leadership of the Chair of the Board, shall conduct an annual review and evaluation of the conduct and performance of the Board, each standing committee and all directors, based upon completion by each director of an evaluation form, generally circulated after the final regularly scheduled Board meeting in each year, or upon such interviews of directors or other methods as the Chair of the Board believes appropriate and suitable for eliciting the relevant information. The evaluation form, or such other method, shall include questions designed to solicit an assessment of:

    the composition and independence of the Board and each committee of which a director is a member;

    access to and review of information from management by the Board and each committee on which a director is a member, and the quality and timeliness of such information;

    the performance of the Board and each committee of which each director is a member;

    the adequacy of the charter of each standing committee of which a director is a member;

    the Board's responsiveness to shareholder concerns;

    the content and effectiveness of, and compliance with, the Company's Code of Ethics; and

    maintenance and implementation of this Mandate.

Schedule A - Page 7


Table of Contents

        The review shall seek to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively and identify specific areas, if any, in need of improvement or strengthening. The results shall be summarized in a report made by the Chair of the Board to the full Board annually, generally during the regularly scheduled first quarter Board meeting in each year and the Board will collectively assess the results and the performance of the Board as a whole, each standing committee and all directors and formulate a response to such collective assessment accordingly. Each standing committee of the Board shall consider the report in connection with such committee's annual evaluation of its own performance.

XIII.
Orientation of Directors

        The Board shall provide appropriate orientation programs for new directors, which shall be designed both to familiarize new directors with the full scope of the business of the Company and the Business and key challenges and to assist new directors in developing and maintaining the skills necessary or appropriate for the discharge of their responsibilities. The Board and management shall also periodically arrange for site visits or provide materials or briefing sessions for all directors on subjects that would assist them in discharging their duties. The Company shall reimburse each director for reasonable costs incurred if the director chooses to attend and participate in one professionally sponsored conference or educational program annually relating to directors of publicly held companies and their duties and responsibilities.

XIV.
Director Compensation

        The Board shall review and approve annually the directors' compensation package. Director compensation should be sufficient to enable the Company to attract and retain talented and qualified individuals to serve on the Board and its standing committees. Accordingly, the Company will not be limited to benchmarking its director compensation package to those offered by companies in its peer group or those offered by companies of comparable size, stature and quality.

        The Board is aware that questions as to the independence of non-management directors may be raised when director's fees and other compensation and benefits exceed what is customary. The Board also is aware that similar concerns as to the independence of non-management directors may be raised if the Company makes substantial charitable contributions to organizations in which a non-management director is affiliated, or enters into consulting contracts with (or provides other indirect forms of compensation to) directors. The Board intends to evaluate these matters when determining the form and amount of director compensation and the independence of a director.

XV.
Age, Term and Other Limits

        The Board does not currently believe that this Mandate should place a fixed limit on the number of directorships that its directors hold in other companies or impose maximum age or term limits on its directors. The Board believes that such limitations are not necessary to ensure appropriate Board renewal and, in any event, arbitrarily restrict the pool of talent available for service on the Board. Directors are, however, encouraged to limit the number of directorships that they hold in public companies so that they can devote sufficient time to the discharge of their responsibilities to each public company for which they serve as a director, including the Company.

XVI.
General Limitations

        The members of the Board will discharge the oversight responsibilities set out in this Mandate and in any committee charters by, among other things, evaluating (a) reports given to them, (b) presentations made to them and (c) other significant business and financial reporting decisions which are reported to them by management, internal auditors, external auditors and others. Within the

Schedule A - Page 8


Table of Contents

bounds of reasonable business judgment and assessment, and to the extent permissible under law, each member of the Board or of any committee will be entitled to rely on the integrity of the individuals and organizations within and outside of the Company from whom they receive such information. In discharging his or her duties as a member of the Board or of any committee, each member is entitled to rely on the records of the Company and on such information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, that is prepared and presented by (i) any officer, employee or committee of the Company or (ii) legal counsel, external auditors, outsourced internal auditors, governance consultants, compensation consultants or other persons as to matters the member reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence and who was selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, the Board or committee of the Board or any committee of the Company.

XVII.
Mandate

        The Board shall annually re-evaluate this Mandate and make such revisions as it deems necessary or appropriate. In doing so, the Board shall consider other corporate governance guidelines identified by leading governance authorities and the evolving needs of the Company.

        If the Board ascertains at any time that any of the guidelines set forth in this Mandate are not being observed, the Board shall take such action as it deems reasonably necessary to assure full compliance as promptly as practicable.

        When this Mandate provides that any particular action by the Board, a committee or the Chair of the Board take place at or in connection with a particular quarterly meeting, such action may be taken at an earlier or later time, in the discretion of the Board, committee or Chair, as applicable.

        The Board is responsible for the enactment and approval of changes in the Code of Ethics. The Audit Committee has responsibility for the oversight of the implementation and administration of the Code of Ethics, the review and assessment at least annually of the effectiveness of the Code of Ethics and the recommendation to the Board of suggested changes in the Code of Ethics.

    monitor the integrity of the Company's financial statements, financial reporting processes, systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance and disclosure controls and procedures;

    monitor the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

    subject to the rights of shareholders and applicable law, recommend for appointment, engage, oversee, retain, compensate and evaluate the Company's external auditors, pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided, consistent with all applicable laws, to the Company by the Company's external auditors, and establish the fees and other compensation to be paid to the external auditors;

    monitor and evaluate the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company's external auditors and internal auditing function; and

    establish procedures for the receipt, retention, response to and treatment of complaints, including confidential, anonymous submissions by the Company's employees, regarding accounting, internal controls, disclosure or auditing matters, and provide an avenue of communication among the external auditors, management, the internal auditing function and the Board.

        References in this Audit Committee Charter ("Charter") to management or employees of the Company, or groups or functions of the Company (such as the risk management group) include all employees of Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. ("KMCI") or any of its affiliates performing services for the Company pursuant to the terms of the services agreement among the Company, KMCI, Kinder Morgan Canada GP Inc. and Kinder Morgan Canada Limited Partnership.

II.    Membership

    1.
    The Committee will be comprised of at least three members of the Board, each of whom must meet the independence criteria set forth in National Instrument 52-110—Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") at all times during his or her tenure on the Committee. The Board must unanimously determine that nominees for the Committee meet the applicable independence requirements before it places such nominees on the Committee.

    2.
    All members should possess "financial literacy" (as such term is defined in NI 52-110), or acquire such literacy within a reasonable period of time after joining the Committee.

    3.
    No director will be appointed to the Committee who is currently serving on the audit committees of two or more other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to serve on the Committee and such determination is disclosed in the Company's subsequent management proxy circular.

    4.
    The members of the Committee and the Committee Chair will be appointed by the Board, generally at or prior to the regularly scheduled first quarter meeting of the Board, to serve for

Schedule B - Page 1


Table of Contents

      an annual term and until their successors shall be duly appointed. The Chair will be available, capable, qualified and competent in dealing with financial and related issues. Any member of the Committee or the Chair may resign or, subject to the Company's by-laws, be removed by the Board from membership on the Committee or as the Chair. The Committee shall not have alternate members. When a vacancy occurs at any time in the membership of the Committee, that vacancy may be filled by the Board.

III.  Meetings

        The Committee shall meet at least four times annually, usually in conjunction with the Board's regularly scheduled Board meetings, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's counsel or other advisors or consultants to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any member of or advisor to the Committee. Unless otherwise requested by the Chair of the Committee or a majority of the members of the Committee, the external auditors and internal auditors shall attend every meeting of the Committee. The Committee has had and will continue to have regular, direct and confidential access to the Company's external auditors and internal auditors. In preparing the agenda for each Committee meeting, the Chair shall solicit input on the agenda items for the meeting from the other directors, as well as the Company's external auditors and other relevant members of management of the Company.

IV.    Responsibilities

        The Committee's responsibility is oversight, and it and the Board recognize that management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company's financial statements. Management and the internal auditors are responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and internal controls and procedures that provide for compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The external auditors are responsible for planning and carrying out a proper audit of the Company's annual financial statements, reviews of the Company's quarterly financial statements, and other procedures. It is not the Committee's responsibility to certify the Company's financial statements or to guarantee the external auditor's report. It is recognized that the members of the Committee are not full-time employees of the Company and, while each member of the Committee should possess financial literacy or acquire financial literacy within a reasonable period of time after joining the Committee, the members of the Committee are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, accountants or auditors by present profession or certified experts in the field of accounting, auditing or auditor independence. It is also the responsibility of management to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Company's policies with oversight by the Committee in the areas covered by this Charter.

        In this regard, the following functions are expected to be the common recurring activities of the Committee in carrying out its oversight function. These functions are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may diverge from this guide as appropriate under any particular set of circumstances.

Financial Reporting

        The Committee will:

    1.
    Review with management and the external auditors any issues relating to the Company's financial statements and the results of the audit thereof. Prior to the filing of any audit required under the securities laws, the auditor shall report to the Committee (a) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used; (b) all alternative treatments within generally accepted accounting principles for policies and practices related to material items that have been discussed with management; (c) the ramifications of the use of such alternative

Schedule B - Page 2


Table of Contents

      disclosures and treatments; (d) the treatment preferred by the external auditor; (e) other material written communications between the external auditor and management, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences; and (f) any other reports required to be delivered by the external auditors to the Committee.

    2.
    Review management's disposition of proposed significant audit adjustments as identified by the external auditors.

    3.
    Inquire into whether the statements and disclosures fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of the Company by requesting explanations from management and from the internal and external auditors on whether:

    generally accepted accounting principles have been consistently applied;

    there are any significant or unusual events or transactions;

    the Company's financial and operating controls are appropriately designed and functioning effectively;

    the Company's disclosure controls are appropriately designed and functioning effectively; and

    the Company's financial statements contain adequate and appropriate disclosures.

    4.
    Review with the external auditors their views as to the quality of the Company's accounting principles and financial reporting practices.

    5.
    Review and discuss with management, the external auditors and internal auditors, as appropriate, (a) material issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the Company's selection or application of accounting principles, and material issues as to the adequacy of the Company's internal controls and any special steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies; (b) analyses prepared by management and/or the external auditor setting forth significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the financial statements, including analyses of the effects of alternative generally accepted accounting principles methods on the financial statements; (c) the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures, if any, on the financial statements of the Company; and (d) the type and presentation of information to be included in earnings press releases (paying particular attention to any use of "pro forma," or "adjusted" non-GAAP, information), as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies.

    6.
    Meet to review and discuss with management and the external auditors all financial statements and financial disclosure, and approve (in the case of the Company's quarterly financial statements, to the extent delegated by the Board) or recommend to the Board for approval, as applicable, the Company's quarterly and annual financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the related management's discussion and analysis and earnings press release, in each case prior to their release to the public.

    7.
    Review with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer the processes undertaken by them to satisfy the requirements for certification relating to the Company's quarterly and annual reports to be filed with securities regulators, to confirm that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified for the reporting period. Obtain assurances from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as to the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure

Schedule B - Page 3


Table of Contents

      controls and procedures and systems of internal control over financial reporting and that any fraud or illegal acts involving any employees or officers is reported to the Committee.

    8.
    Discuss with management earnings press releases, as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. The Committee's responsibility to discuss earnings releases, financial information and earnings guidance may be done generally (i.e., discussion of the types of information to be disclosed and the type of presentation to be made). The Committee is not required to discuss in advance each earnings release or instance in which the Company may provide earnings guidance. If it is not otherwise practicable for the entire Committee to discuss financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies, such discussion may be performed by the Chair of the Committee.

    9.
    Review and discuss with management the disclosure of financial information, including the use of "pro forma" or non-GAAP financial information and earnings guidance, contained in any press releases or filings filed with the securities regulators (or provided to analysts or rating agencies). Consideration should be given as to whether the information is consistent with the information contained in the financial statements of the Company. Such review and discussion should occur before public disclosure and may be done generally (consisting of discussing the types of information to be disclosed and the types of presentations to be made). The Committee shall periodically assess the adequacy of such review.

    10.
    Review and discuss management's process for the use in financial statements and earnings releases of financial parameters that are non-GAAP measures.

Internal Control

        The Committee will:

    1.
    Review and discuss with management, as well as internal and external auditors, the Company's policies and procedures related to financial risk assessment and risk management, including the Company's material financial risk exposures, the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures and the adequacy of the Company's overall control environment and controls in areas representing significant financial risk. It is the responsibility of management to assess and manage the Company's exposure to risk, but the Committee will discuss guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken.

    2.
    At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Committee, request that the internal and external auditors present to and discuss with the Committee any significant findings and recommendations they have made but not previously presented. To the extent practicable, the internal and external auditors shall appraise the Chair of the Committee of any such findings or recommendations prior to the time an agenda for such meeting is provided to the Committee. If either the internal or external auditors believe that any such finding or recommendation should be brought to the attention of the Committee prior to its next regularly scheduled meeting, they shall promptly appraise the Chair of the Committee thereof and if appropriate the Chair shall call a special meeting of the Committee.

    3.
    Gain an understanding of whether internal control recommendations made by internal and external auditors have been implemented by management.

    4.
    Inquire as to the extent to which internal and external auditors review computer systems and applications and the security of such systems and applications.

The Committee, or the Chair or other members of the Committee delegated such authority by the Committee, must pre-approve all audit services to be provided to the Company by the Company's external auditors. The external auditors will report directly to the Committee. The Company will provide appropriate funding (as determined by the Committee) for payment of compensation to the Company's external auditors. The Committee will recommend to the Board that the selection of external auditors be ratified and approved by the shareholders of the Company.

    4.
    The lead (or coordinating) audit partner associated with the Company's external auditors will be reviewed and evaluated by the Committee at least annually and the lead (or coordinating) audit partner and the reviewing (or concurring) audit partner must be changed in accordance with any applicable legal or professional requirements. In its review of the external auditor and the lead partner, the Committee shall consider the opinions of management and the Company's internal auditors. In addition to the rotation of audit partners, the Committee will consider whether there should be a rotation of the audit firm itself to assure continuing auditor independence.

    5.
    The Committee cannot engage external auditors to perform audit services for the Company if the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, Finance or any person in an equivalent position for the Company was employed by such external auditors and participated in any capacity in the audit of the Company within one year preceding the initiation of the audit.

    6.
    The Committee will, at least annually, use its reasonable efforts to obtain and review a report from the external auditors addressing: (a) the auditors' internal quality-control procedures; (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the external auditors, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the external auditors and any steps taken to deal with such issues; (c) the independence of the external auditors, including a delineation of all relationships between the external auditor and the Company; (d) each non-audit service provided to the Company; (e) the aggregate fees billed for each of the previous two fiscal years for each of (i) professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's financial statements and review of the Company's quarterly financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory or regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements and are not included in clause (i); (iii) professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and products and services other than those in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii); and (f) if greater than 50%, the percentage of the hours expended on the most recent audit that were attributable to persons other than the external auditor's full-time, permanent employees. The Committee shall discuss such report with the external auditor, and shall actively engage in a dialogue with the external auditor with respect to any disclosed discussion of any relationships or services with or for the Company that may impact the external auditor's objectivity and independence.

    7.
    The Committee will regularly review with the external auditor any problems or difficulties the external auditor encountered in the course of the audit work, including any restrictions on the scope of the external auditor's activities or on access to requested information, and any significant disagreements with management. The Committee will also review with the external auditor any accounting adjustments that were noted or proposed by the external auditor but were "passed" (as immaterial or otherwise); any communications between the external audit team and the external audit firm's national office respecting auditing or accounting issues posed by the engagement; and any "management" or "internal control" letter issued, or

Other Responsibilities

    Meet at least quarterly with the external auditors, director of internal audit, and management in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or these groups believe should be discussed privately.

    2.
    Maintain minutes of meetings and update the Board about significant Committee activities and make appropriate recommendations, as often as the Board or Committee deems appropriate. The Committee will review with the Board any significant issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company's financial statements, the Company's compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the external auditors, or the performance of the Company's internal auditors and internal audit function.

    3.
    Annually review and assess the continuing adequacy of this Charter and the performance of the Committee and, if appropriate, recommend changes for the approval of the Board.

    4.
    Prepare a report to shareholders to be included in the Company's periodic disclosure if required by applicable law.

    5.
    Oversee, review and approve changes to policies for the hiring by the Company of present or former employees of the Company's external auditors.

    6.
    When required by the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Ethics") or when requested by the Board, approve related party transactions by a vote of the disinterested members of the Committee.

    7.
    Perform any other activities consistent with this Charter, the Mandate of the Board (the "Board Mandate"), the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and applicable law, as the Committee or the Board deems necessary, appropriate or desirable.

    8.
    As appropriate, obtain advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting or other advisors.

Ethical and Legal Compliance

        The Committee will:

    1.
    Review and assess at least annually the Code of Ethics, recommend changes in the Code of Ethics as conditions warrant and confirm that management has established a system to monitor compliance with the Code of Ethics by officers and relevant employees of the Company.

    2.
    Review management's monitoring of the Company's compliance with the Code of Ethics, and evaluate whether management has systems in place designed to maximize the likelihood that the Company's financial statements, reports and other financial information disseminated to governmental organizations and the public satisfy applicable legal requirements.

    3.
    Review, with the Company's counsel, legal compliance matters including securities trading policies.

    4.

    5.
    Oversee, review and approve changes to procedures for (a) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and (b) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

VI.   Power to Engage Advisors

        As provided in Board Mandate, the Committee has the sole authority, without further authorization of the Board and at the Company's expense, to retain (and terminate as necessary) and compensate any accounting, legal or other firm of experts to advise the Committee as it deems necessary or appropriate. The Committee shall have sole authority to approve any such firm's fees and other retention terms. The Company shall at all times make adequate provision for the payment of all fees and other compensation, approved by the Committee, to any such firm employed by the Committee.

VII. Procedures

        The Committee shall conduct its operations in accordance with any applicable procedures set forth in the Company's by-laws applicable to the operations of the Board and its committees, and in accordance with this Charter and the relevant provisions of the Board Mandate. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such additional procedures for the conduct of its business as are not inconsistent with those referred to in the preceding sentence. When this Charter provides that any particular action take place at or in connection with a particular quarterly meeting, such action may be taken at an earlier or later time, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee shall have no authority to delegate its responsibilities specified in this Charter to any subcommittee, except for pre-approval of audit and non-audit services as provided under "External Audit." The Committee will report, through the Committee Chair, to the Board following meetings of the Committee on matters considered by the Committee and its activities.

Item 4.01.    Changes in Certifying Accountant.

        On August 31, 2018, Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (the "Company") completed the sale of its Trans Mountain Pipeline system and the related Trans Mountain expansion project. As a result of that transaction, most of the Company's accounting functions will be managed out of Houston, Texas. Accordingly, on October 24, 2018, the Company changed its principal independent registered public accountant from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (Canada) ("PwC Canada") to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (United States) ("PwC US"). This change constituted a resignation by PwC Canada and the engagement of PwC US because PwC Canada and PwC US are separate legal entities. The decision to change independent registered public accountants was approved by the audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on October 24, 2018.

        PwC Canada's reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

        During the Company's two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent period through October 24, 2018, there have been no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC Canada, would have caused PwC Canada to make reference to the matter in its reports on the Company's financial statements; and there were no reportable events as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

        The Company requested that PwC Canada furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PwC Canada agrees with the statements in this Form 8-K. A copy of such letter, dated October 24, 2018 (stating that PwC Canada agrees with the Company's statements in this form 8-K, except that PwC Canada has no basis on which to comment on the fifth paragraph), is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

        PwC US participated in a portion of the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, acting as a component auditor for PwC Canada, the then-principal independent registered public accountants of the Company. During the Company's two most recent most years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and in the subsequent period through October 18, 2018, other than in the normal course of the audit, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted PwC US regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided to the Company that PwC US concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or reportable event as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v), respectively.
