“The science is clear: we cannot build more fossil-fuel projects if we want to have a livable planet. LNG Canada Phase II is a major setback for climate action and puts everyone’s right to clean air, water, land and the fragile ecosystems we all rely on to exist, at risk.

“Our world is in a state of climate emergency. Canada could be part of the solution; regrettably, it has chosen to be a major part of the problem.”

'Calling this a “project of national interest” is a farce. The government fast-tracked this decision through a public comment period that gave Canadians little time to weigh in. Despite the truncated timeline, more than 43,000 Canadians spoke up in opposition. Less than two weeks after closing that comment period, the project is being designated anyway. This government doesn’t appear to have considered the concerns of communities bearing the project’s risks, or those who know Canadians won’t see any real benefits.'

"Litigation means uncertainty. The bill undermines its own promise: Ottawa cannot offer investors certainty while sidestepping its obligations to rights holders."

"Climate: Standards? What standards?"

"It comes as little surprise, given the systematic dismantling of Canada’s climate policy over the past 18 months, but the federal government would really prefer that we not talk about climate change".

"Instead, Bill C-39 chips away at various environmental protections that currently exist in the Impact Assessment Act, Canadian Environmental Protection Act, Species at Risk Act, Fisheries Act and Canadian Navigable Waters Act".
