CARBON CAPTURE
British Columbia Premier David Eby expressed satisfaction that two out of five prioritized national projects by Ottawa are based in his province, including the expansion of LNG Canada and the Red Chris mine. Eby is set to meet Prime Minister Mark Carney to advocate for additional fast-tracked projects.
Carney emphasized the need to streamline the approval process for major infrastructure, promising a significant economic boost. While some projects align with climate goals, concerns remain regarding the absence of oil pipeline initiatives on the initial list, with ongoing discussions about future development.
