“The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers welcomes the determination that the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) natural gas pipeline project has been substantially started by the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). Industry strongly supports advancing this necessary infrastructure enabling the responsible development of natural resources in British Columbia, which will ensure economic benefits for British Columbians and Canadians across the country, as well as partnerships with Indigenous communities. The natural gas and LNG industry has the potential to position Canada’s West coast as a globally significant energy export hub supplying critical resources to our trading partners and new markets, while contributing to growing a strong and resilient national economy. Through nation-building projects, British Columbia’s energy sector can drive new investments, create high-paying jobs, and ensure a stable supply of secure and affordable energy.”
