This document provides an overview of the natural gas market and what may lie ahead for the industry. It discusses key topics like the top natural gas exporters, China's growing LNG imports, global LNG market outlook, and natural gas reserves and use for power generation. For Canada, it outlines challenges like slower LNG demand, competing exports from other countries, and the need for supportive policies and regulations to strengthen the domestic natural gas industry. Overall technologies and focus on streamlining regulations and taxation could help position Canada as a leader in LNG exports going forward.

• Slower demand along with hijacking of government by environmentalist - https://www.worldoil.com/news/2020/3/6/canada-s-lng-

• BC projects still going strong - https://www.jwnenergy.com/article/2019/10/lng-canada-ramping-project-marks-one-year-construction/
• Australia and USA have jumped ahead of Canada in terms of LNG exports - https://www.jwnenergy.com/article/2019/12/canadian-lng-
global-opportunity-global-competition/
• “Legendary investor Warren Buffett’s decision to walk away from a proposed export terminal for liquefied natural gas in Quebec is
being held up in a new report as a sign that the LNG sector in Canada and elsewhere is on shaky ground. The Global Energy Monitor
report released Monday says Buffett’s move in March underscores the growing political and economic uncertainty that LNG projects
are facing even as governments around the world tout liquefied natural gas as a clean alternative to coal power.

@kevdeagle what good did you do for natural resources? Did you get oil to tidewater? Did you grow the natural resources sector?
Did you support the streamlining of regulations? Did you support tax reforms? https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/canada-
natural-resources-sector-whats-next
@ShannonStubbsMP @emilia_suze @GasPriceWizard
Canada’s natural resources are about 10% of its GDP. Canada is one of the most ethical and environmentally sound countries in the
world - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/what-is-going-on-with-oil and https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/oil-

that support the goods producing sector -

• All levels of government need to work the private sector to streamline
regulations and taxes for the natural resources sector -
