VANCOUVER – The federal natural resources minister is in Vancouver today for an announcement about international energy exports.
The news conference with Tim Hodgson comes a day after several media outlets reported Canada has reached a deal to supply liquefied natural gas to Germany.
The reports say the gas is to be shipped from the yet-to-be-built Ksi Lisims plant and export terminal planned for the northern British Columbia coast near the Alaska border.
Ksi Lisims is a partnership between the Nisga’a Nation, Houston-based Western LNG and Rockies LNG, a group of Canadian natural gas producers.
The project has regulatory approval but the partners have yet to make a final investment decision, which would clear the way for construction to begin.
LNG is natural gas that has been chilled into a liquid state, enabling it to be shipped by sea around the world on specialized tankers.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 27, 2026.
