B.C. Premier John Horgan offers deep tax breaks to boost LNG industry – March 22, 2018 –The Vancouver Sun by Rob Shaw http://ow.ly/78i430jatdk
Horgan said he hopes the exemptions, which forgo up to $6 billion in potential government revenue over 40 years, would lure the Shell-led LNG Canada project to make a final go-ahead decision this year on its $40 billion LNG proposal for Kitimat and associated gas pipeline.
"This new approach is one that I believe British Columbians want to see from their government," the premier told reports at the legislature.
"If we can realize industrial development, spectacular. If we can do that within a framework that protects our environment and meets our climate objectives, brilliant. If we can ensure that genuine reconciliation can happen with Indigenous peoples, I believe we’ve not just checked all the boxes, but we’ve developed a framework that will mean something to British Columbia now and into the future."
