Legislation was proposed on March 4, 2009 that would give Ontario the legal standing to sue cigarette companies in order to recover the money spent on tobacco related illnesses in Ontario. Approximately $1.6 billion dollars is spent every year by Ontario tax-payers in relation to smoking related illnesses. The new legislation introduced by Attorney General Chris Bentley would allow the Ontario government to seek billions of dollars in damages from the 3 biggest Canadian cigarette manufacturers: Imperial Tobacco, Rothmans, Benson and Hedges, and JTI-Macdonald. British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have all passed similar legislation. JTI-Macdonald is currently under bankruptcy protection which means Ontario has to act now or they lose their opportunity to sue this company. British Columbia has to get permission from the court to pursue this company in their claim.
The proposed legislation would allow Ontario to sue the tobacco companies for alleged wrong-doings by the companies and holding them accountable. British Columbia already has a bill that suggests the tobacco companies marketed light cigarettes as safer than the regular ones, as well as targeting their advertising towards children. It is also alleged that the companies conspired to hold back research regarding the harmful effects of smoking tobacco and undermining the health warnings that had been issued. These allegations have not been proven yet in court. Premier McGuinty has stated that Ontario is ready to sue the tobacco companies due to British Columbia's successes.
The proposed bill would give the Ontario government the right to sue the companies directly for any alleged wrong-doing as well as to allocate liability by market share and measure the health-care cost to taxpayers regarding tobacco-related illnesses. A successful lawsuit could potentially bring in a settlement as much as $60 billion dollars. The lawsuit could also bring...
