More taxpayer dollars up in Smoke? Make the Call!

Here is the situation:

B.C., New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island are retaining a national legal team to help them prosecute Canadian tobacco companies.

Why are these provinces teamed together?

The provincial governments believe that because of the many common elements of the claims, combining forces with other provinces and co-ordinating legal resources will bring their cases to trial faster.

What is the cost?

Is it cheaper for each province?

So what is Newfoundland and Labrador doing?

Ask Dunderdale or Williams. What is the cost of our legal team that includes the law firm of Roebothan, McKay, Marshall - the law firm previously headed up by Danny Williams?

Will they tell us the compensation terms of our legal team?

Where are the questions? Why are they not being asked? 

All the media has to do is "make the call". It costs absolutely nothing to "make the call". 

Perhaps Manitoba could confirm for us "independently" if the way are approaching this lawsuit is the lowest possible alternative.
