Natural Resources committee  Thank you very much, sir.

Natural Resources committee  I believe there is a market. I know there is because of the wood fibre agreement, and that they will be selling to China.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, sir, particularly from Russia.

Natural Resources committee  Particularly from Russia, but...

Natural Resources committee  Yes, sir. I just can't recall the particular plant in China, but by simply displacing two power plants, two coal-fired power plants, in China, we can easily offset the entire greenhouse gas emissions of B.C., just B.C. alone.

Natural Resources committee  Yes. We would have 10% that we could pass on to other provinces.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, sir. I am from the Philippines. I'm sure we are a market for natural gas because, as I have observed, sir, you can see the air in the Philippines. It's not as bad as in China, but you can smell it and you can see it. I am sure that the population of the Philippines would benefit from using natural gas.

Natural Resources committee  Not even two years, sir, approximately 14 months.

Natural Resources committee  Sir, since I was laid off last January 27, and even prior to going to Fort St. John, I've studied working in natural gas. I studied at Vancouver Community College in preparation for moving to Fort St. John. I familiarized myself with the processes of natural gas and LNG, and since I've been unemployed, I've had a lot of time to study and do research.

Natural Resources committee  Just to clarify, sir, the LNG plant would not be in our area. It would be in the northwest of B.C., around 1,200 kilometres away from us. We are on the supply side, supplying natural gas to the LNG plant. Everything has been laid out. The community of Prince Rupert already knows how many people would be hired.

Natural Resources committee  Okay. We already have an LNG plant in Canada. It is located in Delta.

Natural Resources committee  I am only familiar with one, sir. We have the capacity to even produce LNG in a moveable plant, but we have one in Delta. Within the last three weeks, there was a press release that they will be selling to Hawaii. They will be supplying LNG to Hawaii, through Fortis Inc. in Hawaii.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, sir. As the honourable chairman said, my name is Alan Yu, and I am the founder and chairman of FSJ for LNG. I am a new immigrant to Canada. I've been here only two years. I love my new country. I love my new hometown, Fort St. John. That is why I am fighting for its economy and for the job market in Fort St.
