Rabaska

Industry Brief

Sponsors of the proposed Rabaska LNG terminal still have three other sites near Quebec City to pursue, after citizens resoundingly defeated a plan earlier this week to locate the receiving terminal in the Beaumont section of the city. Residents of Beaumont resoundingly rejected the proposal with 72% voting against it. Opponents of the LNG project claimed it would be a safety hazard and would spoil the river view. The government of Quebec supports the project as necessary to supply energy in the area. Sponsors of the project include Gaz Metro, Enbridge and Gaz de France.
