Enbridge and First Nations make deal

An interim agreement has been reached between oil company Enbridge and Saskatchewan First Nations groups that will see more aboriginal involvement in a Canadian pipeline project. Enbridge vice-president Byron Neiles says there will be more training and placement of First Nations people. He also said there will be set-asides, in which some of the contracts will be offered directly to First Nations groups instead of being tendered out. The agreement means an end to First Nations protests that disrupted work earlier this week on the Alberta Clipper, a pipeline that will eventually reach the United States. To formalize the agreement, a pipe ceremony was held Friday near an Enbridge construction site east of Regina, Saskatchewan.
