One thing that really needs to be considered for the infrastructure / construction issue is that of course we're going to spend more here than anywhere else in the country for a very simple reason...it costs more for EVERYTHING!! You're competing against O+G for labour, materials, and people. Alberat is the most expensive place to live, work, and run a business in the country.
I'm not sure how you'd go about comparing "apples to apples", but some type of indexing to house price, average income, etc. would need to be done to compare how efficient our gov't is compared to BC/ON/PEI etc.
