Frankly, though, Chevron has decided to cease work. I'll read part of their statement. “At this time, it is Chevron’s intent to cease Chevron-funded further feasibility work for the proposed Kitimat LNG Project.”
Minister, if you're not pounding your fist on the table.... Something is not working. We had how many LNG projects along the coastline of British Columbia that could have lowered global emissions? This could be a great story for Canada, and thankfully LNG Canada is still on track. I know about the project. It's going relatively well, and hopefully we can get gas to the markets in Asia, where it's much needed, to offset some of the higher-polluting fuels and energy. However, Minister, if Chevron is deciding to cease further sustainability studies for such a good project, something is wrong and you might need to start pounding your fist on the table. I would ask, on behalf of all....
You didn't mention British Columbia in your statement. You talked about Saskatchewan, Alberta and your home province. B.C. has a huge natural resource sector. It's very significant to our provincial bottom line and allows people to put meals on their tables and roofs over their heads. We're asking you to fight for our industry.
