Federal energy minister hails ‘one project, one review’ approval for B.C. LNG plant

Federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson hailed the streamlined approval of the Ksi Lisims LNG project off British Columbia's coast on September 16, 2025.
The approval followed a 'one project, one review' system that relied on provincial assessment amid mixed consent from local First Nations and environmental opposition.
The Ksi Lisims LNG project, developed by the Nisga'a Nation, Rockies LNG, and Western LNG, includes two floating LNG facilities designed to export 12 million tonnes per year.
Environmental groups called the plan a failure of leadership and said it contradicts climate commitments, with Ecojustice stating it is "fundamentally at odds with B.C.'s claims to be a climate leader."
The project represents one of Canada's largest private sector investments and could significantly impact clean energy production despite ongoing opposition and First Nations dissent.
