So sick of hearing this. Have you ever dealt with the Alberta Government on a bureaucratic level?
I have for about 20 years and I can tell you that they are the opposite of efficient. The job that one person used to do in the 90's has now been replaced by 2-3 people. That person used to have 1 manager, they now have at least 1 supervisor and at least 1 manager. Nobody left, they were all promoted. All of these people have been given raises and benefits that far exceed the private sector and there is no reward for efficiency, it's the exact opposite, the less efficient they are the more staff are hired to help them.
There are now gobs of red tape and meeting after meeting. It used to be that 3-4 vendors would look at a job, bid, and then the best bid would do the job. Now there are planning meeting, walkthroughs, addendums, addendum meetings, pre-job meetings, post job meetings, post job evaluations, blah blah blah. It's truly ridiculous and every vendor builds extra money into their bids to pay for all the BS that costs them money.
The whole process needs an enema.
