Mr. Speaker, natural gas has been produced safely in British Columbia for over 60 years. B.C.'s natural gas reserves could fuel our domestic consumption and our exports for the next 150 years. The global demand for LNG is expected to grow by 45% in the next decade. There are six LNG projects in British Columbia with Canada LNG being the largest project in Canadian history.
LNG represents a billion dollar opportunity for first nations, yet the Minister of Environment wants to talk down our LNG opportunities. Why?
