The Minister's decision focused on the project's potential adverse effects within federal jurisdiction. The Minister has issued a project recommendation that includes a determination regarding the potential effects of the project under the Treaty. The federal decision on the Ksi Lisims LNG project aligns with the Government of Canada's commitment to fast-tracking nation-building infrastructure that strengthens diversified trade, advances sustainable resource development, supports Indigenous economic development, and contributes to Canada's long-term competitiveness as a reliable partner in global energy markets. My decision reflects a collaborative, transparent process – led by the province, supported by federal expertise, and shaped by meaningful Indigenous leadership. We believe the project will contribute to sustainability, reconciliation, and Indigenous economic self-determination,” said Julie Dabrusin.
