Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday announced a second batch of “transformational” major projects the federal government is submitting for possible fast-track approval. Ksi Lisims LNG will become “Canada鈥檚 second-largest LNG facility,” Carney said, with a capacity to export 12 million tons of LNG every year to new markets. Carney added three new critical minerals projects, which include Canada Nickel鈥檚 Crawford Project in Ontario, Nouveau Monde Graphite鈥檚 Matawinie Mine in Quebec and Northcliff Resources鈥 Sisson Mine in New Brunswick. Plus, he added Iqaluit Nukkiksautiit Hydro Project to the list, calling it a “breakthrough for Arctic sovereignty and sustainability,” and that it will be a 100 per cent Inuit-owned hydro energy project.
