What did Leaders Accomplish at the Sea Island Summit?

Highlights of Sea Island Summit outcomes include :

  • noting the need for structural reform in G8 economies along the lines achieved in Canada over the past 10 years;
  • welcoming recommendations by the Commission on Private Sector and Development and adopting an ambitious action plan;
  • approving the Plan of Support for the Broader Middle East and North Africa, which reflects Canadian priorities in the region such as microfinance and education, including the G8 commitment to help 20 million more people become literate by 2015;
  • supporting the need for a donor's conference on Haiti, as proposed by the Prime Minister after describing the desperate humanitarian and security situation in that country; and
  • approving the Secure and Facilitated Travel Initiative (SAFTI), which builds on the Transport Security commitments reached at the Kananaskis Summit and which is inspired by the Canada-U.S. Smart Border agreement.
