Quebec's government is open to reconsidering a liquefied natural gas project in the Saguenay region, aiming to reduce Canada's reliance on the US as an export market. This comes after previous rejections due to environmental concerns and the threat of US tariffs on Canadian energy.
The Quebec government says it would be open to reviving a liquefied natural gas project in the Saguenay region to transport Alberta energy overseas, as a way to reduce the country’s reliance on the United States as an export market.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Quebec Environment Minister Benoit Charette signalled a willingness to entertain proposals from GNL Québec. “We’re not closed to energy projects that respect environmental criteria,” he said, later adding he would “study on its merits.” Christine Fréchette, the province’s Economy and Energy Minister, said Wednesday that the project would need to be accepted by the population to go forward, a green light that didn’t exist a few years ago. “We need social acceptability for a project like GNL Québec,” she said.
