"The Pacific NorthWest LNG project, which would produce more than five million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, has 190 legally binding conditions attached to the approval."

"RICHMOND, B.C.—The federal government gave conditional approval Tuesday to the massive Pacific NorthWest LNG project planned for British Columbia’s northwest coast.

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr and Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc travelled to Richmond, B.C., to announce their government’s acceptance of what is expected to be one of the largest infrastructure investments in Canadian history.

There are 190 legally binding conditions attached to the approval, McKenna said."
