Overview
- Prime Minister Mark Carney said the next tranche of the Major Projects Office list will be announced Thursday in Prince Rupert, B.C.
- He called the program a living list that will keep growing, with selections based on autonomy, economic diversification, Indigenous partnership, climate alignment and clear returns.
- Coverage points to Prince Rupert port and LNG proposals as possible additions, including the REEF terminal and the Indigenous‑led Ksi Lisims LNG project, which is still awaiting federal approvals.
- The MPO was allocated $214 million in the federal budget and is overseen by energy executive Dawn Farrell to accelerate approvals and coordinate financing.
- Carney said Ottawa will outline further support for the softwood lumber sector after a First Ministers’ meeting next week.
