Canada has committed to the project, but discussions around details are ongoing
Active negotiations are ongoing regarding Canada's financial contribution to Cedar LNG, aiming to support its construction and operational phases.
"We are in active conversations with Pembina and Haisla First Nations. We are saying today that we will support the project, but discussions are still ongoing," federal minister of innovation, science and industry, François-Philippe Champagne told Black Press Media during his visit to Kitamaat Village on Tuesday, July 8.
Collaboration among all the levels of government was made easy Champagne said because of the strong advocacy of Haisla Chief Councillor Crystal Smith. The Cedar LNG project is a joint venture between the Haisla Nation and Pembina Pipeline Corporation, with the Haisla Nation holding majority ownership at 50.1%, and Pembina Pipeline Corporation holding 49.9%.
