Canadian companies and Indigenous communities are collaborating to turn ideas into solutions that will benefit Canada and the world
The Government of Canada is committed to building a clean and prosperous economy, with people at the centre. Canada has a long history of being a global supplier of green energy. The government is working to facilitate the transition to clean energy sources and is looking for reliable partners to ensure the Canadian economy is a leader in that transition. It's why we are investing in projects that make our economy cleaner, and doing it fairly. That includes work to advance economic reconciliation in ways that provide Indigenous communities with new opportunities to share in the benefits of growth and to help lead the way in the economy of the future, an economy that supports good jobs, that supports our international partners and that supports a healthier environment.
Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced the government's support for a partnership between the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation.
This project presents an exciting opportunity for Canada, as it is expected to commercialize one of the lowest-carbon-intensity liquified natural gas (LNG) facilities in the world and represents the largest Indigenous-majority-owned infrastructure project in Canada.
Cedar LNG is advancing a project that aligns with Canada's priority of decarbonizing the industrial transformation of heavy emitters and supporting energy security for its partners and allies, including those in the Indo-Pacific region. This project would establish Canada as a global leader in the production of low-carbon LNG and, in doing so, provide unique opportunities for the Haisla Nation and the region and support the global transition to a low-carbon future.
