Quebecers 'don't need' Bill 101
Former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier has found himself in hot water after publicly declaring that Quebecers ``don't need'' Bill 101 to ensure the survival of the French language in the province.
The Alberta Government has passed a new bill, Bill 48, under the Crown's Right of Recovery Act, which would enable it to join other provinces in suing tobacco firms to recover billions of dollars which are spent every year in smoking-related healthcare costs, and over allegations of misrepresenting their products to the public.
