#1 - LNG Makes Canada Stronger & More Diversified
Answer
Between 2020 and 2064, a healthy LNG sector on Canada’s west coast could generate [3]:
- Over $500 billion in economic activity
- 96,550 more jobs a year
- Over $6 billion in wages for workers
- More than $150 billion in government revenues
The LNG industry is advancing economic reconciliation with First Nations [4] while spending billions of dollars with Indigenous-owned businesses [5][6]. Canadian LNG projects are an integral part of our communities, donating millions to support healthcare in B.C. including funding for two CT scanners in Squamish and Kitimat hospitals.
LNG is also helping Canada find new markets for its natural gas apart from the U.S., diversifying our trading partners while maximizing the value of our gas resources.
Developing LNG is an opportunity that Canadian and Indigenous communities cannot afford to miss.
