LNG Canada will once again use Chinese steel for the “specialized fabrication capability” it says it requires for its $33-billion Phase 2 expansion project in Kitimat, B.C.
When the proposed expansion led the list of early projects referred to the new federal Major Projects Office in September 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters these ambitious building projects would be “at the heart of our new, comprehensive Buy Canadian policy.”
In fact, the joint venture will buy more components from the state-owned China Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd. (COOEC), which also manufactured its first two liquified natural gas processing units, known as trains, now in operation.
Taxpayers will “make a lot of money” on oil exports to Asia, says Prime Minister. @MarkJCarney says permits for new $43.7 billion pipeline from Bruderheim, Alta. to Pacific terminals at Delta, B.C. will be fast-tracked within 12 months.https://t.co/3r7Uvmr0VU #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/qnhufTUeox
