The BC Greens stand with the First Nations who oppose this project. The BC government must not bend on this issue and must stand with First Nations. Just yesterday, the CleanBC Review was released making clear that our climate responsibilities and fossil fuels cannot co-exist.
The irony is impossible to miss: Carney, the former UN Special Envoy on Climate Action, is now entertaining a pipeline expansion that runs directly counter to the urgent climate leadership he used to champion.

Some of the recommendations we like in the CleanBC Review:
1. Aligning CleanBC with UNDRIP and DRIPA
2. Establishing a net zero pathways assessment, and an electricity allocation framework that supports fuel-switching and prioritizes allocation to net-zero sectors and activities

When there are threats to progress on reconciliation, we must respond with immediate and proportionate action.
The BC Greens are calling on the NDP government to implement a Three-Point Reconciliation Plan.
“We believe this 3-point plan can reset the tone, reduce tensions, and allow the land question to be addressed in the legislature with First Nations in a depoliticized way,” said MLA Botterell.

The BC Greens want British Columbians to access this province’s clean energy advantage.
But the BC NDP have made it clear that the North Coast Transmission Line is being advanced primarily as a public subsidy for LNG projects, rather than as a long-term investment in BC’s clean energy future.

Ksi Lisims LNG does not represent the interests of British Columbians, and the Prime Minister’s message that fossil fuel projects, such as Ksi Lisims, are low carbon and aid the energy transition is flat-out greenwashing.
