B.C. government is sweetening the pot on Petronas’ $1.1 billion offer with land

An offer of $108 million worth of land from the B.C. government may be off the table, if Lax Kw’alaams First Nation members vote against a $1.1 billion offer from Petronas to support its $11 billion Pacific Northwest LNG in Prince Rupert and $5 billion pipeline project, according to the Lax Kw’alaams’ mayor.

Members of the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation will be voting at a series of community meetings on the offer. The final two meetings take place in Vancouver May 11 and 12 at Chateau Granville.
