'Countries will get their gas from whoever will supply it, and those other suppliers will profit while Canada wallows in division and debt.'
Prime Minister Trudeau’s reception of Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio in January was more than the usual international embarrassment. It was a pair of world-class opportunities cast aside for no apparent reason.
True, there was some agreement in Ottawa on security issues and general economic expansion. But in the hyper-critical area of energy security, one would expect that when the Prime Minister of Japan asks the Prime Minister of Canada for assurance of natural-gas supplies Canada would respond in the spirit of geopolitical good sense and economic self-interest.
While it is not his responsibility to assess the “business case”, there is some merit in the observation that the infrastructure to supply LNG from the east coast is essentially nonexistent. In addition, the Haisla Nation’s Cedar LNG project and the Nisga’a Nations Ksi Lisims LNG project are moving forward. Cedar LNG could be in production by 2027 or 2028 and Ksi Lisims LNG could be operational in late 2027 or 2028. At the moment, unexplained federal and provincial regulatory decision delays for Cedar LNG are disconcerting.
Natural gas is a transition fuel that can help other nations make the change from coal to cleaner energy while helping to lift populations out of poverty.
