WATCH: BC Conservatives unveil 'Energy Superpower Plan' to double LNG production by 2032

The BC Conservatives have unveiled their strategy to ensure British Columbia gets the most out of its natural resources and becomes less reliant on the United States.

Leader Lorne Doerkson outlined his party's "BC Energy Superpower Plan" during a press conference in Vancouver on Monday.

"It sets one clear, ambitious, and achievable goal," Doerkson said. "We will double LNG production in BC by 2032, and we will triple it by 2035."

He explained that this would be achieved via "cutting red tape, faster permitting, [and] faster approvals," all while "uphold[ing] the highest environmental standards in the world."

"We won't let regulatory reviews become bureaucratic black holes that kill good projects through attrition," Doerkson declared. "If a project is good for BC, it is going to get a 'yes' — in fact it's going to get a very quick 'yes'."

Doerkson added that in order to show the world that the province is "open for business," a "global investment summit" would be held in Vancouver in 2027 to "welcome the world's capital back to BC."

He argued that beefing up BC's resource sector would bring in enough revenue to allow the government to "keep taxes low."

"The results for everyday British Columbians will be absolutely transformative," Doerkson said.

Doerkson made it clear that his government would work collaboratively with First Nations, though he maintained DRIPA must be repealed.

"I want partnerships with First Nations," he said. "We need to make everyone equally successful here ... What the narrative was two weeks ago is quite different to the narrative that this week has shown."

Meanwhile in Price Rupert, BC NDP leader David Eby made an economic announcement of his own.

He vowed to double the province's critical metals and minerals exports over the next five years, and expand the port of Prince Rupert to make it "the second-largest port in Canada by 2030."
