"Premier Clark's Natural Gas Strategy provides a clear vision for job creation and leadership on clean energy," said Michael O'Connor, President and CEO. "This provincial commitment to developing the LNG industry also recognizes the importance of the renewable energy sector as a key to securing a strong economy and a legacy for generations to come, with a long-term commitment to fueling domestic energy needs with local, clean energy sources," concluded Mr. O'Connor.
"On behalf of the NaiKun Team, including our industry and First Nation partners, I applaud this vision and look forward to continuing to work with the BC Government, Coastal First Nations, northern communities and industry to develop LNG to maximize the benefits that made-in-B.C. clean energy will deliver to all British Columbians and abroad."
