British Columbia's LNG Opportunity

British Columbia's LNG Opportunity

We must balance a strong economy and affordability with energy security.

That's why we must advance Canadian-made natural gas exports to the world.

natural resources make life more affordable for Canadians

-------------------

#1 - Canadians Cannot Afford to Miss Out On LNG Development

British Columbia's liquefied natural gas (LNG) is an economic opportunity Canadians cannot afford to miss. Between 2020 and 2064, a healthy B.C. LNG sector could create [1]:

  • $500 billion in economic activity
  • More than $170 billion in government revenues
  • Over 96,000 more jobs a year
  • $6 billion in wages

-------------------

#2 - Many Countries Are Asking for Canadian-Made LNG

Global LNG demand is projected to grow by more than 50% by 2040 [2]. Many countries, including Germany, Japan, Poland, and South Korea, have asked us for our democratically produced energy as these countries look to diversify away from unreliable sources [3][4].

Shouldn’t we do everything we can to help?

If Canadians don’t produce the LNG the world needs, other less transparent and less regulated producers will gladly fill the void to reap the huge economic benefits.

-------------------

#3 - Canadian LNG is Indigenous Economic Reconciliation

First Nations leaders are calling on our governments to advance Indigenous economic reconciliation through the development of LNG projects, saying that Canadian LNG is Indigenous LNG [5].

Cedar LNG, for example, will be the largest Indigenous majority-owned infrastructure in Canada and the world [6], paving a path forward for First Nations proponents to generate own-source revenues, create economic opportunities, and improve the socio-economic conditions within their communities.

The development of Canada’s LNG sector has had lasting positive impacts on many Indigenous communities throughout rural B.C., benefits that include:

  • $4.1 billion in spending on contracts and procurement with local and Indigenous-owned businesses (LNG Canada) [7]
  • $1 billion in spending with local Indigenous businesses (Coastal GasLink) [8]
  • 10% equity stake with 17 First Nations communities (Coastal GasLink) [9]

Indigenous economic reconciliation is impossible without a strong economic foundation to advance change [5]. For Indigenous communities, the outcomes of LNG development are tangible and essential, including new jobs and business opportunities, own-source revenues to fund clean drinking water and housing, and more [5].

It's time to get behind B.C.'s LNG projects to advance Indigenous economic reconciliation and support a stronger economy and more prosperous future for Canadians.
