Prime Minister Mark Carney says the first set of major projects the federal government is recommending for approval includes the expansion of a liquified natural gas (LNG) project in B.C. and the Port of Montreal.
The first five major projects are set to include the second phase of LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., which will double its production of LNG, the Darlington New Nuclear Project in Clarington, Ont., which will make small modular reactors, as well as the Contrecœur Terminal Container Project to expand the Port of Montreal, Carney announced at a Sept. 11 press conference in Edmonton.
Two mining projects are also included on Carney’s list, including the McIlvenna Bay Foran Copper Mine Project in Saskatchewan and the expansion of the Red Chris Mine in northwestern B.C….
