Flashy Liberal Policy Helps to Drive out Cleaner Energy Products | Mar 20, 2021

After 15 months of looking for an interested party, Chevron Canada has come to the conclusion that no one is prepared to buy their 50 per cent stake in the Kitimat LNG project, thanks to the Liberal policies and practices that continue to drive investments and jobs out of Canada.

For those who do not know, liquified natural gas (LNG) from this project would be some of the cleanest in the world, and would displace dirtier and more costly energy resources like coal, and LNG from the Gulf Coast.

Losing this project would be a major blow for local First Nations that support the project and would see investments and good paying jobs leave their communities. Failing to get this project built is not only a lost opportunity to reduce global emissions, it is also a lost economic opportunity for local First Nations communities and the rest of Canada.

There is no time to waste as the world waits for the solutions that Canada is best positioned to provide. Conservatives will work to secure a future where responsible, world-class energy projects can get built. It’s time we did better.
