I'll try to give two quick answers.
The SPP was deliberately designed to deal with the boring and the incremental, and the first year it concentrated on much more practical stuff because there was no appetite for big ideas. As time went on, the leaders--certainly the private sector, the competitiveness council--started asking for more thoughts on the strategic level, and that was the direction they were moving in.
On tourism, Canada worked very hard to get delays in the implementation of the WHTI. We did get some delays, in cooperation with our American allies. Those delays in turn have allowed some of the efforts by, for instance, the provinces and states to start developing things like enhanced drivers' licences and expanding availability of options for travellers. I am worried there won't be enough of those available in time to make a difference in terms of this year's implementation.
On the other hand, I have to say I think we are facing a tough time on the tourism industry this year, but it won't just be because of the WHTI; it's going to be because of the Canadian dollar and the state of the economy as well.
I'd go on, but I want to respect the committee's time.
