The controversial liquid natural gas (LNG) project in Saguenay is dividing Quebecers, according to a Léger poll released Wednesday.

GNL Quebec, a Quebec-based project development, construction, and operations company, wants to build a natural gas liquefaction terminal on the Saguenay River. Tankers would then transport LNG to European and Asian markets.

The project requires the construction of a 780-kilometre natural gas pipeline from Northern Ontario to the Saguenay terminal site.

The Legault government has come out in favour of the megaproject, claiming it has public support on its side.

Results of the Léger poll may suggest otherwise.
