Enbridge has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with trade unions representing pipeline construction on the Northern Gateway project.
The MOU guarantees 2100 person years of work on the project between four unions .
One of those unions is the United Association of Plumbers and Pipe fitters and their International Rep Rob Kinsey says with the 209 added conditions for approval, initial estimates on how much work it would take were probably not accurate.
Kinsey says one major goal of the company is to hire as many locals and First Nations to work on the project, should it go through.
