The latest Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives report on British Columbia’s potential employment from liquefied natural gas fails to accurately reflect the economic reality facing our province.

Since 2011, the B.C. government has been aggressively pursuing liquefied natural gas (LNG) development to create jobs and boost the economy.

Our government remains committed to providing supportive housing and shelter for those who need it most, and our record speaks to the importance we place on housing.

Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas chilled to -160 degrees Celsius so that it can be converted into a liquid form.

British Columbia has a large, growing supply of natural gas to support economic growth for decades to come, contrary to a report released recently by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, which used incomplete data.

The Province is a leader in safe, responsible natural gas development, with some of the most up-to-date and stringent regulations in the world for shale gas development.

After three years of planning, we anticipate British Columbia's liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry will take flight in 2015 as leading proponents make final decisions to move forward with some of the largest capital projects in our province's history.

As housing matters to all of us, the time has come to look to forward, to direct our investments to meet the coming housing needs of British Columbians.

As we spent time with friends and family this past weekend, we should keep in mind there are people in our communities who are unable to find affordable housing, or need to seek support at shelters on a regular basis.
