In a year-end interview, Premier Christy Clark discussed major milestones and the events of 2014.
Here are some excerpts from the premier’s interview with Unfiltered’s Jill Krop on the following topics:
Site C dam project: “I think if we don’t do it now, it’ll never happen. We have an opportunity to get into the market right now. For those who would argue we should delay, I would say, well hang on with North American energy prices as low as they are for natural gas. The only way to preserve the jobs we have now and grow them in the gas business — export it at higher prices to Asia.”
LNG: “We’re really where we expected to be at about this point… watching what’s happening with oil, not great for Canada, not great for the world. But it will also free up some workforce in the oil sands if investment slows down that will also be a benefit to Petronas.”
