Oil and Gas Producers Applaud Ottawa’s Latest Major Projects List
Designation of Ksi Lisims LNG and other projects aims to fast-track approvals and boost LNG exports, with Canada targeting a top 5 global LNG exporter status, industry says.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney released a second list of projects his government is submitting to the Major Projects Office for consideration as projects of national interest as countries met in Brazil for the U.N. climate conference.
- Industry pressure, including calls from executives, prompted the national-interest designation to speed approvals and possibly bypass the Fisheries Act and Species at Risk Act.
- The new list adds projects including the Ksi Lisims LNG project, North Coast Transmission Line, a hydroelectric project in Nunavut, and mines in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.
- Environment groups warned the move takes Canada in the wrong direction as world leaders meeting in Belém, Brazil discuss fossil fuel shifts, while Caroline Brouillette called LNG expansion `climate-killing`.
- The Nov. 4 budget pledged stronger industrial carbon pricing but gave no details, while provincial carbon-pricing systems must meet the federal standard for carbon pricing to avoid federal imposition.
