Diversifying the revenue stream is required. And as was mentioned above diversifying the revenue is more important that diversifying the economy. The energy sector is only 25% of the GDP.
This issue is not specific to Alberta. All jurisdictions in Canada are facing the same neglected infrastructure problems.
