Norwegian company has plans for LNG export project in Quebec
Quebec Premier Francois Legault speaks at a news conference at his office in Quebec City, Friday, June 6, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot MONTREAL — A subsidiary of a Norwegian energy company wants to build a liquefied natural gas export project in Quebec. Marinvest Energy Canada says there's a strong business case for an LNG project in Quebec to export Canadian natural gas to Europe. The company is offering few details about the project, but an elected official in Quebec's Côte-Nord region says it would be located in Baie-Comeau, along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. Quebec Premier François Legault says members of his team have met with representatives of the company. Legault rejected a proposal for an LNG facility in Quebec's Saguenay region in 2021, amid widespread opposition to the project. He has said Quebecers are now more open to fossil-fuel projects due to the trade war with the United States. --- This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 4, 2025.

Four missing after Airmedic helicopter crash in northeastern Quebec: police
An Air Medic medical transport plane is seen Tuesday, November 28, 2023 in St. Hubert, Que. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz) Quebec provincial police launched a search operation Saturday after a helicopter crash in northeastern Quebec that left four people unaccounted for. They said the aircraft operated by Airmedic was involved in an accident around 10:30 p.m. on Friday near Natashquan, Que., a little more than 1,000 kilometres northeast of Montreal. Police planned to comb a wooded area in the region north of the community in the province's Côte-Nord region. Sgt. Élizabeth Marquis-Guy said five people were aboard the chopper, but one man was rescued and reportedly suffered non-life-threatening injuries. He was taken to hospital. The four others remained missing on Saturday morning. Raphaele Bourgault, a spokesperson from the Longueuil, Que.-based air medical transport firm, confirmed the helicopter was part of the company fleet and said emergency services were quickly dispatched to the scene. 'Airmedic staff are working closely with authorities and first responders to manage the situation and provide the necessary assistance,' Bourgault said in an emailed statement. 'Airmedic will release further information as soon as it is confirmed.' Bourgault said the company's thoughts and concerns are with those affected by the crash. Airmedic specializes in air medical transport and operates both planes and helicopters as part of its fleet. It is a private company that offers its services across Canada. A command post was set up and search specialists are on site and are capable of searching on the water as well as by ground and in the air. The Canadian Armed Forces have also been called for assistance, police said. Provincial police say the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has been informed of the crash and will conduct an investigation to determine the circumstances behind it. A TSB spokesman said the helicopter was in the process of a medical evacuation and crashed into a lake shortly after takeoff. 'The TSB is in contact with the operator and others involved and is collecting information,' spokesman Nic Defalco said in an emailed response. Police investigators will collaborate in the TSB probe, Marquis-Guy said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 21, 2025. This is a corrected story. A previous version incorrectly identified the victim taken to hospital as a woman.
