LNG Facts

• Canada's economy is struggling. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) development makes Canada stronger with a needed economic boost.

• Exporting LNG can help reinforce our economic prosperity and security through trade diversification and maximizing the value of our resources.

• Canadian and Indigenous families cannot afford to miss out on LNG development and the jobs and irreplaceable economic opportunities that go with it.

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.

Global gas demand is at an all-time high, and consumption is projected to be higher in 2050 than today ^[1]. Global LNG demand is also projected to grow by more than 50% through 2040 ^[2].

As long as the world needs natural gas, it should be made in Canada, by Canadians - benefitting our families here at home.

Many countries have asked for or support Canadian-made LNG, including Germany, Japan, Greece, Poland, Latvia, Ukraine, South Korea, and the Philippines ^{[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]}.

Many of these foreign leaders have said they prefer Canadian LNG because of our shared democratic values, as they look to diversify away from unreliable suppliers.

Shouldn’t Canadians do everything we can to help - actions that would make our economy stronger here at home?

Without oil and natural gas exports and other energy goods, Canada’s cumulative trade deficit with the rest of the world – which stood at $130 billion in the decade ending in 2023 – would have ballooned to $1 trillion ^[7].

Canada’s energy exports enable our country to pay for imports of goods and services ^[7], supporting our standard of living and making life more affordable for Canadians.

Natural resources comprise 45% of Canada’s manufacturing output ^[17] and 50% of our exports ^[18]-- LNG could create even more economic opportunities for Canadian families and businesses.

Canadians can't let the opportunity to develop LNG pass us by.

Canadians can support all forms of energy to keep our country’s economy strong and energy secure.

Energy forms the bedrock of the Canadian economy, accounting for hundreds of thousands of jobs, more than 10% of our economy, and 28% of our exports in 2023 ^[16].

Whether it be wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, oil, natural gas, or anything in between, Canadians don’t have to choose between supporting traditional energy versus renewables --- we can do both, for a brighter, more prosperous, and energy-secure future for our families and country as a whole.
