What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Prime Minister Mark Carney designated the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 container port in Metro Vancouver a project of national interest, which could bring the superport into operation in 2035 instead of 2039 by speeding up federal approvals. Separately, British Columbia premier-designate Lorne Doerkson and Mark Carney discussed provincial growth and energy cooperation, aiming to make private-sector investment in natural gas and liquefied natural gas more attractive. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority also held a press conference regarding the Port of Vancouver on October 30.
