Platts LNG Daily reports that, on Monday, the Canadian Natural Resources Minister, Gary Lunn, announced the establishment of a Major Projects Management Office (MPMO), which will help coordinate the regulatory processes related to energy projects, including LNG import terminals. Lunn noted that MPMO will not affect the respective roles of regulators such as the National Energy Board and Natural Resources Canada, but will provide a streamlined and transparent regulatory review process for proposed projects.
