B.C. is well positioned to export to Asia: Deep water ports in locations like Prince Rupert and Kitimat are ideally positioned for growth in LNG shipments to Asia A number of firms have announced prospective LNG terminals on the west coast of BC Four of the projects have announced potential pipeline plans or use of existing infrastructure 15
16 Competitive Environment for Capital Investment BC has unique royalty programs in place to strengthen the economics of capital investments made in the Province.

The Program is in direct support of British Columbia's Natural Gas Strategy. 16
