Oil and Gas Industry

During Question Period on the oil and gas industry, a Liberal member asked about Canada’s liquefied natural gas exports, saying global demand is growing and Canada is the cleanest supplier. The Natural Resources minister replied that he had been in British Columbia the previous day to announce an agreement to sell low-carbon LNG to Germany, sourced from the Ksi Lisims LNG project co-owned by the Nisga’a Nation, which he said is expected to bring nearly $30 billion in investment.Written by AI from the debate.

“The world needs more liquefied natural gas, and Canada is exporting it. Can the minister update us on our work to export even more?”
Official Hansard

During the last election, we committed to making Canada an energy superpower, and we are delivering on that promise. Less than a year ago, LNG Canada delivered its first exports to Asia, and we are already expanding further. Can the minister update the House on the efforts to expand Canadian LNG exports?

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, to share with the members opposite, yesterday I was in British Columbia to announce that Canada has reached a historic agreement to sell low-carbon LNG to Germany. This LNG was sourced from Ksi Lisims LNG, which is co-owned by the Nisg̱a’a Nation. It is expected to generate nearly $30 billion of private sector investment. It will export Canada’s first LNG to Europe, supporting global energy security and economic growth for jurisdictions. It is a win-win-win-win: a win for Canada, a win for B.C.—
