With the backdrop of workers at the Refinery, Premier David Alward says by announcing a binding open season Transcanada is taking a firm step toward moving the project forward.
He says Transcanada is seeking firm commitments from the people that would use the pipeline and that will take 60 days.
Andrew Dawson of the Building Trade Union tells CHSJ News building a pipeline can mean many jobs. He says during the construction phase it could mean about 3000 jobs.
In two months, Transcanada will determine if there is enough interest and from there begins the regulatory process that will be lead by the Federal government.
