ESF Welcomes LNG Canada’s Landmark Indigenous Equity Agreement

Energy Secure Future (ESF) is proud to support today’s landmark announcement from LNG Canada and MNT Investments LP, which creates the opportunity for five First Nations to acquire up to a $1 billion majority ownership stake in infrastructure supporting LNG Canada’s proposed Phase 2 expansion. This agreement represents a significant step forward for economic reconciliation, demonstrating how Indigenous Nations can participate not only through employment and procurement, but as long-term equity owners in major energy infrastructure.

The announcement directly reflects the vision outlined in ESF’s newly released When Our Nation Builds report: that Indigenous equity partnerships are transforming how Canada builds major projects. Across the country, Indigenous-led ownership is creating lasting prosperity for communities while strengthening Canada’s ability to deliver strategic energy infrastructure. The LNG Canada agreement is a powerful example of this model in action, one that aligns economic opportunity, reconciliation, and energy security.
