I think you've hit the nail on the head. The difficulty also is the federal census and their methodology, which does not take into consideration places such as northern Alberta. It just does not.
How can you have a municipal census that is done door to door and shows a 25% greater number of people in the area than a federal census that doesn't do door to door? Yet the federal census is accepted, and the municipal census is not accepted. They show 103,000 people right now in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. It should be its own riding. There is no question that it should be, but the federal census is all that everybody seems to rely on, and as a result of that inaccurate data, I think exactly what you've suggested is very important.
