Yes. Years ago I talking to a panhandler. and she told me that her and her b/f just arrived from Ontario. They didn't have jobs so they went to the welfare office. She complained about how welfare said they would help them out, and how they waited for 3 hours and they came back with bus tickets and meal vouchers for them for their return trip home.
I actually thought it was a good idea- have our provincial tax dollars spent on a one time fix as opposed to letting them live on the dole.
