PETALING JAYA: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), which is leading a group that is developing a multi-billion-ringgit liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in Canada, is offering C$1.15bil (RM3.43bil) in compensation to a aboriginal community, as it seeks to win local support for the proposed project.
The benefits package offered by Pacific NorthWest LNG, TransCanada Corp and the British Columbia government was published on the community’s website.
Members of Lax Kw’alaams First Nation community will vote on the package, to be paid over 40 years, later this month.
The US$11bil (RM39bil) Pacific NorthWest LNG project involves the construction of facilities to process and export natural gas to be produced by Progress Energy Canada Ltd in northeastern British Columbia, Canada.
