Natural Resources committee It's the very recent Nation2Nation in the news, sir. It came out, I think, today or yesterday. This is from a meeting that happened June 2, a two-day event in Kitimat. Premier Christy Clark was there, along with several first nations. I'm getting that from the news, sir.

Natural Resources committee No, sir. The only time our paths crossed with the provincial government was when Christy Clark came to us. She joined our people's rally when we were showing support publicly for LNG. She took notice of our organization for that event and she flew in. That was the only time, and I have not been in contact with her.

Natural Resources committee I'm not privy to that information, sir, but when I said 90%, I got that from the news. It's a press release, sir, I think just today. I think I just read it today, sir. It's called Nation2Nation.

Natural Resources committee Thank you very much, sir.

Natural Resources committee Well, first of all, I feel that the Canadian government is doing its best to preserve natural resources and make them contribute to the economy. However, more could be done. I feel that the approval process should be hastened. It's costing economically. It is also costing Canada in its overall economy.

Natural Resources committee In terms of how our organization is funded, sir, we use GoFundMe on the Internet. We are basically growing from that. It's very public. It's all there. We are not lobbying. We are just notifying the federal government of the job market in our area, sir. In terms of the approval process, I was just surprised, because in February the CEAA said there was no significant impact on the salmon.
June 6th, 2016Committee meeting
Alan Yu
Natural Resources committee No, no. I got curious. It was only on my trip here that it was clarified, sir, that the issue was the salmon again. I am very thankful I came here, because my friends were asking what was happening, and I was able to clarify that for them. I'm glad that, according to the CEAA, science will prevail, which we agree upon 100%—not politics, sir, but science.

Natural Resources committee Thank you, sir.
June 6th, 2016Committee meeting
Alan Yu
Natural Resources committee Yes, sir. Production of LNG will increase our greenhouse gases, undoubtedly. Everyone knows that. I am hoping that the Canadian government will look at greenhouse gases on a global scale and not just in Canada. We can easily offset whatever increase in greenhouse gases. Here in Canada, I would say we're going to have a difficult time meeting our commitment unless we factor in the greenhouse gases that we will save overseas wherever our natural gas, our LNG, will be used.

Natural Resources committee Unfortunately, these delays have human costs for people like me losing jobs in Fort St. John, losing their businesses, losing homes and their vehicles, being separated from their family because they have to go elsewhere to look for a job while their family is in Fort St. John.

Natural Resources committee Salmon.

Alan Yu
Natural Resources committee Yes, salmon, the fish.
June 6th, 2016Committee meeting
Alan Yu
Natural Resources committee Yes, sir.
June 6th, 2016Committee meeting
Alan Yu
Natural Resources committee No. As I said earlier, very briefly though, and I'm sure it's easily missed, we can produce LNG from two containers. We can have the process of converting natural gas within a remote site. As the gentleman said, we are producing LNG in Alberta; we are producing LNG in northern B.C., which I believe is in Dawson Creek.
