Equivalency and ambiguity

Issuing a Request for Proposals = Trans Labrador Highway to Get Hard-Top

When is Trans-Labrador Highway to Get Hard-Top?

Why, it doesn't say.

And what is "Hard-Top"?

Surely not "cheapseal", now is it?

Who knows? It doesn't say.

But lookie! A dollar figure: "As part of Budget 2009: Building on Our Strong Foundation, approximately $56 million will be invested in Phase I and Phase III of the TLH."

The same kind of dollar figure that is curiously absent from other Highway Happiness announcements this spring. How come?
