Former B.C. premier Christy Clark, who led the province between 2011 and 2017, championed the liquefied natural gas sector during her time in office.

But her vision took more than a decade to materialize: B.C.’s first large-scale LNG export facility in Kitimat, B.C., shipped its first cargo in 2025, years after Clark left office.
