Another hurdle to Petronas’ project in Canada


PETALING JAYA: Petronas has hit yet another formidable obstacle with its hotly-contested Petronas Pacific Northwest (PNW) LNG project in Canada.

Over 70 Northern British Columbia indigenous leaders, environmental organisations, scientists, businesses, unions, university groups, and faith groups from across the province have signed on to a letter written by Lax Kw’alaams hereditary chief Yahaan (Donnie Wesley) calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna to reject the PNW LNG plant proposed for Lelu Island and Flora Bank. They also want ongoing test-drilling at the site to be cancelled.
