The Pacific Trails Pipeline has been approved and clearing has started to bring gas from Spectra's system to Kitimat. Transcanada has plans to bring a gas line in and I believe there is a third one that I can't recall. In Grande Prairie, Encana has announced a new LNG fueling station that should be operational by the end of the year. LNG has a huge potential as fuel for the transport, construction and drilling industries as well as being used to run generators on midstream facilities.
Historically, gas has been the main driver of Alberta and some of these projects could help that return.

Very little, if any, Alberta gas would be going to LNG facilities for export.
