“We are now very, very close to realizing a final investment decision from LNG Canada. It will transform Kitimat, most assuredly, but will provide certainty and sustainability for our gas sector, from wellhead to water line.” — Premier John Horgan
Premier John Horgan was in an inspirational mood Friday when he addressed the annual convention of the Union of B.C. Municipalities in Whistler.
He thanked key players for rising to the occasion on the year’s fires and floods, pledged to listen to local government — not saying if that would extend to complaints about the speculation tax — and used the platform to campaign for a Yes vote in the referendum on proportional representation.
Near the end, Horgan rolled out a big-ticket item, when he advised B.C. appears to be on the threshold of a multibillion-dollar investment in liquefied natural gas.
“We are now very, very close to realizing a final investment decision from LNG Canada,” Horgan confided, referring to the export terminal that Shell and partners are proposing to build at Kitimat on the Northwest Coast.
“It will transform Kitimat, most assuredly, but will provide certainty and sustainability for our gas sector, from wellhead to water line.”
