A Transport Canada Contest


I took this material from the Transport Canada website,
"Surface Infastructure Programs-Bridges"
http://www.tc.gc.ca/programs/surface/bridges/internationalstructures.htm

The contest is open to residents of Canada and the US only who are over the age of majority. The prize is a coffee and muffin or bagel at a Tim Hortons location near me.

You are responsible for your own transportation to get there and YOU have to clear Customs if you are a non-resident. Good luck on that.
[Note I reserve the right to eat and drink your prize if you are late!]

The skill-testing question is: how much money has been wasted so far on useless border work
.

The questions:
1) What is missing from this website
2) Why

All responses will be posted (provided that the language is appropriate for family viewing). The one with the closet correct answer wins.

Since no one else follows the rules in relation to the border matter, neither will I! Therefore, my arbitrary decision is final!

Just to give you some background:
  • "The Surface Infastructure Programs Directorate (Bridges) is the focal point for the government's involvement in Canada's bridges.

    The Directorate monitors issues and developments with respect to:

    1) international structures that are owned and/or operated either privately or by federal authorities;
    2) interprovincial structures owned and/or operated by other federal departments or provincial governments; and
    3) provincial or municipal structures owned and/or operated
    by provincial or local governments.
