There has been some discussion in Canadian media on this and other 
changes being made by the US.  Few specific actions have been taken 
to change existing regulations yet, but there is a strong feeling 
that many US actions should be matched with a very similar reciprocal 
action.  As the implementation dates for US actions approach, watch 
for changes in Canadian regulations.

One example is the future requirement that all visitors to the US 
must have a passport, as must returning US citizens.  At this time, 
Canadians and Mexicans on short visits only need to show that they 
are citizens of their respective countries and returning US citizens 
can simply show a valid US driver's license.  The feeling is that 
Canada should require US citizens to show their passports to enter 
Canada - this will actually help ensure they don't leave home without 
one by mistake :-).
