In the News:
B.C. Premier John Horgan offers deep tax breaks to boost LNG industry March 22, 2018 The
Vancouver Sun by Rob Shaw
Horgan said he hopes the exemptions, which forgo up to $6 billion in potential government
revenue over 40 years, would lure the Shell-led LNG Canada project to make a final go-ahead
decision this year on its $40 billion LNG proposal for Kitimat and associated gas pipeline.
"This new approach is one that I believe British Columbians want to see from their
government," the premier told reports at the legislature.
"If we can realize industrial development, spectacular. If we can do that within a framework
that protects our environment and meets our climate objectives, brilliant. If we can ensure
that genuine reconciliation can happen with Indigenous peoples, I believe we've not just
checked all the boxes, but we've developed a framework that will mean something to British
Columbia now and into the future."

"We've got a number of build options in the portfolio," Jessica Uhl, Shell's chief financial
officer, said in a quarterly conference call with analysts Thursday. "LNG Canada is one of the
many good options that we have."
PetroChina Company Ltd., Korea Gas Corp. and Mitsubishi Corp. are the other partners on
the project led by Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
The consortium behind LNG Canada named the prime contractors for its $40-billion export
project on Friday ...... In a decision the consortium called a "significant milestone", LNG
Canada said U.S.-based Flour Corp. and Japan's JGC Corp. would lead the $14 billion
construction contract for the liquefied natural gas project in Kitimat on the B.C. West Coast.
