P.E.I. could join N.B.'s tobacco lawsuit

Last Updated: Thursday, April 23, 2009 | 4:46 PM = AT

CBC = News=20

The P.E.I. government is seriously looking at joining New Brunswick = in a=20 lawsuit against tobacco companies.

Premier Robert Ghiz told CBC News Thursday the province is too small = to=20 launch a suit on its own, so it makes sense to team up with New = Brunswick. The=20 lawsuit would try to recover health-care costs associated with the use = of=20 tobacco products.

"Tobacco has contributed a lot to the health costs here in Canada, = and the=20 premise is the tobacco companies have made a lot at the expense of = health care,"=20 Ghiz said.

"If there is a chance that we'll be able to recoup some money that we = can put=20 into perhaps covering more drugs in our health-care system or improving=20 services, I think it's a good thing."

Ghiz said legislation would have to be passed to give the province = the=20 authority to launch the legal action, and the legislative review = committee has=20 been instructed to get the legislation ready. He said it could be tabled = during=20 this session of the legislature.

Several other provinces are already pursuing legal challenges against = tobacco=20 companies.
