Explain what’s wrong A friend of yours submitted a project proposal to the Canadian government, and was rejected. When you asked them why, this is what they answered: “They said the project identification was wrong. They said I had to include infrastructure, and that my alternatives were too limited. That doesn’t make any sense! I want to build a high-tech computer factory in the Yukon. I’m doing it for the money, of course, but to get the government to buy in I’m saying the objective is to create jobs up north. So for my alternatives, I’ve run the numbers for half a dozen different types of high tech computer factories, plus the one I actually want to build. That should be enough, right? And I don’t see why I need to include infrastructure. The government’s responsible for roads and electricity and stuff. I don’t have anything to do with that.”
