Jason Klein, Chief Executive Officer, LNG Canada:
It’s been an exceptionally busy and productive year for LNG Canada and our prime subcontractor, the JGC-Fluor joint venture and its subcontractors. I want to acknowledge every individual who contributed their skills and unwavering commitment to safety to the LNG Canada project again this year.

We reached our peak construction cycle this past fall, with more than 8,000 Canadians employed at our gas liquification and export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia, in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation. We’ve installed all 215 of the large modules required for our gas liquification process and completed other critical work scopes, safely. Our Kitimat facility is now more than 85% complete over-all.
HaiSea Marine, the unique, Haisla-led joint venture that will operate and maintain low and zero-emissions tugboats in service of our LNG shipping operations, has already taken possession of several of its new vessels. Meanwhile, TC Energy recently announced that the Coastal GasLink project, which will deliver natural gas to our facility, is mechanically complete, ahead of schedule.
We’re now preparing for safe start-up activities to begin in 2024. That’s when our equipment is tested and fine-tuned, and we begin the process of producing LNG. Our safe start-up program will take more than a year to complete; we’ll continue to keep local communities and First Nations informed of its progress. This work must be undertaken before we can start shipping our LNG abroad. We remain well-positioned to deliver our first cargoes of lower-carbon, made-in-B.C. LNG by the middle of this decade.
