Canada has announced a landmark energy agreement with Germany that will see the first-ever long-term shipments of liquified natural gas (LNG) from Canada to Europe in the coming years.

The deal was announced on Wednesday in Vancouver by Canada's energy minister, Tim Hodgson, who called it "an exciting and important milestone".
