 Your point is reinforced by another poster who quoted the law, which
 _he_ claims doesn't support Axworthy.  Still, K.B.'s question was
 "what's the big deal?", not "who's right?"
 
 That quibble aside, I got distinctly disenchanted with the reform
 package when I listened to our Minister on a radio talk show the
 other morning.  She made it sound as though the main object is not
 to benefit the welfare client or the taxpayer, but to engage in
 a pissing contest with the feds.
