May 18 (LNGJ) - The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada said it was making funding available through its programme to assist the public and Indigenous groups and First Nations to take part in the impact assessment for the proposed Gazoduq Project, a natural gas pipeline of 780 kilometres to be laid between northeast Ontario and Saguenay in Quebec to connect to an LNG export plant.

   Under the Impact Assessment Act, the review will be carried out by the agency in collaboration with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). “Funding is available for eligible individuals and groups to assist their participation in upcoming steps of the integrated assessment,” it said. Funding applications received by June 30, 2020, will be considered.

Gazoduq Inc., the Québec natural gas developer of a pipeline from the province of Ontario to the GNL Québec liquefaction and export plant, has taken another step in the regulatory permit process to unlock Western Canadian gas resources.
