To that end, I am extremely pleased to announce that the leading German energy utility, Securing Energy for Europe, or SEFE, has signed a new agreement to secure liquefied natural gas offtake from Ksi Lisims LNG. This marks a major milestone for this project as it advances toward its final investment decision, construction and production.
With a clear Strategy, backed by Team Canada and the expertise that exists in this room, Canadian nuclear energy will not only power our own homes, businesses and industry — we can power the world’s.

Today, I am announcing investments of over $165 million for 22 Canadian projects focused on accelerating planning, development and processing projects here at home.
Today, Canada produces 60 minerals and metals at approximately 200 mines from coast to coast to coast. We are the world’s leading producer of potash, second in uranium, third in palladium and a top-five producer of eleven other critical minerals.
Our first priority is ensuring the economic strength of Canada, but not in the abstract: we are focused on term sheets signed, investments made and KPIs hit. Projects either get built or they don’t; capital either flows here or it goes elsewhere; and families either see new opportunities before them or they don’t.
That’s why the centrepiece of my economic strategy as Minister of Energy and Natural Resources is the Major Projects Office, headquartered right here in Calgary.
