Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
The
reason
why
lng
canada
chose
to
locate
its
40
billion
export
facility
in
kitimat
is
because
bc
has
the
second
largest
natural
gas
reserves
in
canada
and
is
ideally
located
for
shipment.
With
all
these
available
advantages,
one
might
have
thought
more
of
the
17
other
proposed
lng
projects
would
also
be
under
construction
at
this
stage.
A
Unfortunately,
that's
not
the
case.
Just
recently,
the
chevron
woodside
pro
proposed
project
in
kitimat
has
joined
the
list
of
projects
that
decide
to
leave
bc
for
more,
welcoming
jurisdiction,
jurisdictions
like
australia,
with
16
lng
export
facilities
or
qatar's
12
lng
facilities.
This
on
top
of
the
46
lng
liquefaction
terminals
worldwide,
including
the
united
states.
A
A
The
niska
have
re-engaged
western
lng
with
the
hopes
of
exporting
lng
to
asia.
Squamish
wood
fiber
is
still
progressing
as
it
sits
on
the
site
of
a
closed
mill
and
are
making
progress
on
their
project
and
the
heiser
nation-owned
cedar
lng
project
announced
their
new
equity
partner
pembina
in
their
project.
That
is
a
spinoff
from
lng.
A
Canada
bc
didn't
fully
capitalize
on
the
energy
demands
from
overseas
and
investment
did
bypass
us,
but
there
is
still
hope
that
the
remaining
proposals
can
keep
bc
on
the
energy
demand
map,
like
other
countries
have-
and
I
call
on
all
members
of
this
house
to
support
and
save
what
was
a
good
start
to
bc's
lng
export
industry.
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
