Below high school age, most travel decisions are made by parents. You need to be 16 before you can sign for your own passport. But we try to reach out to the high schools and the universities. We're trying all kinds of new tricks. We now have a maze on our consular website where you can play a mini-computer game to see what would happen if you went to such and such a place and drove a car while inebriated. We're constantly learning from the experience of others.
We compare notes with other countries just to make sure we give good advice. Before the Jeux de la Francophonie in Lebanon, we had extensive consultations with the French government about our athletes, the Canadian spectators, family members, and coaches.
