2 B.C. major projects on Mark Carney’s list for possible fast-track approval

Prime Minister Mark Carney was in Terrace, B.C., on Thursday and announced that two major projects in the province are being forwarded to the Major Projects Office for consideration.
The first, the Ksi Lisims LNG project, is a proposed 12-million-tonne-per-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) initiative on Pearse Island, close to the Alaska border.
It is located on treaty land owned in fee simple by the Nisga’a Nation. The Nisga’a Nation backs the project but it is opposed by other First Nations in the region.
