Ottawa poised to rule on major B.C. natural gas project
The federal cabinet will disclose its decision Tuesday on a major project to export liquefied natural gas from northern British Columbia.

But the federal regulator said the terminal could be built and operated without causing major ecological damage to Flora Bank – a sandbar with eelgrass that nurtures juvenile salmon.
