Document Highlights British Columbia is becoming the focal point of a new Canadian industry—liquefied natural gas (LNG). These highlights summarize the impacts based on a scenario that creates a 56 million tonne per annum LNG industrial footprint in the province. Between 2020 and 2064, total annual investment would average over $11 billion, totalling in excess of $500 billion over the entire period. For Canada as a whole, LNG would mean 96,550 more jobs a year and over $6 billion in wages. For British Columbia, there would be over 71,000 more jobs a year and over $4.6 billion in wages. From 2020 to 2064, over $108 billion in provincial revenue could be generated for the provinces. Of this total, nearly $94 billion would go to British Columbia.
