The initial tranche of major projects the federal government is hoping to get off the ground include expanding liquefied natural gas production in B.C., and upgrading the port in Montreal, CBC News has learned.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to unveil a list of five "nation-building" projects Thursday morning. The list is being sent to the newly created major projects office for consideration.

The list was printed in a draft news release shared with CBC News. The document was verified by a source speaking on the condition of confidentiality. According to that list the projects are:

Phase two of LNG Canada in Kitimat, B.C., doubling its production of liquefied natural gas.

The Darlington New Nuclear Project in Clarington, Ont., which will make small modular reactors.
