Overview

• Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said in Berlin that Canada plans to have LNG flowing to Europe by 2032 after talks with LNG suppliers and German companies.
• The concept under discussion would move gas from the Pacific to a new Atlantic export site, with Churchill, Manitoba identified as a potential location for a yet‑to‑be‑built terminal.
• Prime Minister Mark Carney said Ottawa is about two weeks from announcing major investments that include what he described as a new port on Hudson Bay.
• Eastern Canada has no operating LNG exporters, and Hodgson said buyers can purchase West Coast cargoes and swap them into European markets as an interim workaround.
• Hodgson argued Canada’s LNG has relatively low upstream emissions, while climate advocates urged the government to focus on renewables, storage and grid transmission instead.
