Possible Pipeline Could Bring Jobs and Second Oil Refinery

The Building and Construction Trade Department likes the idea of processing oil from the Alberta Oil Sands to here in Saint John.

A pipeline to feed Alberta oil from Quebec to Saint John is being looked at by various government reps and trade unions.

Atlantic spokesperson Andrew Dawson tells CHSJ News thousands of jobs could be created -- from pipeline construction jobs to the possibility of a second oil refinery.

He says the general rule of thumb is for every 5 construction jobs, there will be one permanent job created.
