    	I am looking for some information regarding a Canadian law.
    If it is in fact a law, since there have been conflicting stories
    regarding it.  I would appreciate any information.
    
    	A friend of mine has started his own business driving tractor
    trailer into Canada (St. Catherine) hauling scrap iron.  He was
    convicted of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) four years ago.  Since
    that time, he has quit drinking completely.  The controversy is
    around stories that Canada will _not_ let a person that was convicted
    of DWI into the country, since DWI is a felony in the United States.
    Could someone enlighten me, since I get tired of hearing arguments
    that this is true or this is not true.  When I have the facts, those
    that I deal with will be informed. (As well as myself)  Merci !
