Cash earmarked for energy-efficient gas turbines needed for the $40B project and a new bridge in KitimatAn artist's rendering of the proposed LNG Canada project in Kitimat, B.C.Finance Minister Bill Morneau made the announcement Monday in Kitimat, announcing the $220 million will be directed toward buying energy-efficient gas turbines for the project, with the additional $55 million spent on replacing the Haisla Bridge in Kitimat, which is expected to see an increase in traffic.
"The Government of Canada is proud to support this historic $40 billion project that will get our resources to new markets," said Morneau. LNG Canada includes a liquefaction facility, a 670 kilometre pipeline from Dawson Creek and a marine terminal.The project represents the "largest private sector investment in Canadian history," according to a federal government news release.
The government claims LNG Canada will create 7,500 direct construction jobs and at least 300 permanent jobs in the new facility once completed. And so the @liberal_party "climate emergency" https://t.co/n9tsssQ3EF leads to another $220 million subsidy to LNG Canada. Even the @TheBeaverton will struggle to find a satirical headline to describe this https://t.co/NcP6zcPF0o #bcpoli #cdnpoli
