Canada is stepping up talks with the investors behind the country’s largest liquefied natural gas export terminal for an expansion that would double its size while making it as low-carbon as possible, Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said.

That may involve some level of government support, both Hodgson and Prime Minister Mark Carney have suggested in separate remarks this week. It remains unclear exactly what form that would take, and Hodgson stressed the negotiations must remain private to get the deal over the finish line.
