What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The federal government approved the expansion of the Tilbury LNG facility in Delta, B.C., through a decision statement issued by Julie Dabrusin. The approval determined that the project's potential adverse effects within federal jurisdiction are justified by the benefits it will provide. The project involves adding new storage tanks and equipment to increase liquefaction capacity to up to 7,700 tonnes of liquefied natural gas per day.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion is expected to improve energy security and resilience in the Lower Mainland. During construction, the project could generate 6,200 full-time-equivalent years of employment and contribute up to $1.7 billion to provincial GDP. The decision was made under the 'one project, one review' principle.
