<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOver 150 guests attended Get It Done BC, from Indigenous leaders to leading industry figures to politicians from all levels of government. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Marzuki cautioned that Canada\u2019s measured, phased approach to LNG could prove to contain hidden strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAustralia developed nearly a dozen projects at the same time,\u201d said Marzuki. \u201cThat led to absolute cost blowouts. To an extent, I do believe that this more cautious approach Canada is taking is going to strategically position the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clark asked Marzuki whether she believed that global investors, many of whom are frustrated by Canada\u2019s regulatory gridlock, might give the country a second look. Marzuki was optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI believe so. There is appetite for Canadian LNG. The key is resisting the temptation to develop everything at once,\u201d said Marzuki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conversation shifted between technical and philosophical topics, reflecting the spirit of \u201cGet It Done B.C.\u201d itself, which sought to fuse pragmatic plans and aspirational dreams for the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cU.S. LNG is not actually cheap,\u201d Marzuki explained while comparing Canadian and American LNG. \u201cBuyers pay for flexibility, they pay for liability as a service. Canada\u2019s advantage is reliability and stable supply in the Pacific.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She added that as Southeast Asian producers like Malaysia and Indonesia decline, \u201cCanada can backfill that supply in the Pacific.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clark, who made LNG development a key priority under her premiership, linked that opportunity to broader trade dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are governed by the rule of law, English is the language of business, we have huge resources, and we are not the Americans,\u201d said Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their exchange reflected how LNG became a bridge between B.C.\u2019s local prosperity and wider global geopolitics, a theme echoed throughout the wider conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the rest of Get It Done B.C. sessions ranged from discussions about B.C. Hydro\u2019s build-out plans, coastal forest policy, and the province\u2019s faltering permitting system for major projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Energy Minister Adrian Dix was in attendance and urged cooperation and risk-taking, while mayors like Brad West, Kermit Dahl, and Leonard Krog launched the new Alliance of Resource Communities, a network demanding faster, fairer project approvals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Muir framed the event as a turning point. \u201cB.C. is at a crossroads,\u201d he said in closing remarks. \u201cWe can either stay boxed in by bureaucracy and ideology, or we can roll up our sleeves and get things done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n By nightfall, the consensus was clear. Get It Done B.C. was a declaration of intent for the future and the start of a movement for making grand new resource projects the norm in the province again, not just a happy exception to the routine of delays and cancellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marzuki declared that Canada\u2019s strength is a balance of ambition and realism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEach project still has a lot of commercial value,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen we look at the entire landscape, we need to ensure domestic demand is met while planning exports strategically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clark closed out the session on the same note of optimism that had defined the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGovernment can make great investments on behalf of citizens,\u201d Clark said, recalling the billions her administration spent on transmission capacity to support LNG. \u201cThose kinds of projects that invest in economic growth are vitally important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the applause that followed was any indication, B.C.\u2019s resource communities are ready to pick up the torch and power the movement now forming around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
