British Columbia Premier Christy Clark has headed to Ottawa to plead her case for liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the new Liberal government.
Clark is joined by Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman, Environment Minister Mary Polak, Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Jobs Minister Shirley Bond.
According to the Globe and Mail, the B.C. politicians are joined on the trip by industry executives and First Nations leaders.
Approval from the federal government is still needed for Pacific NorthWest LNG's export facility.
"The trip is an important opportunity for the premier and ministers to promote B.C.'s LNG industry," the Ministry of Natural Gas Development said in an emailed statement to the Alaska Highway News.
The future of B.C.’s LNG industry was dealt a blow yesterday (February 4) when Shell announced it is postponing a final investment decision on its LNG Canada project in Kitimat.
