Federal tobacco tax cuts spark interprovincial clash in Canada
The federal plan to cut cigarette taxes by five dollars a carton triggers protests from Ontario and Manitoba health ministers and the Anti Smoking League. Quebec retailers benefit from lower prices, fueling cross-border smuggling and prompting provincial pushback and incentives to match tax cuts. An export tax to the United States is also included to fund anti smoking campaigns.

Special Needs Committee Seeks PCH Plan With Minister
The Special Needs Committee of Senior Services asked Health Minister Jim McCrae for action after proposing to buy the current Personal Care Home to convert it into 19 light housekeeping suites. The aim is to house residents who need assistance but not full care, or that they no longer live alone. The government has not yet decided between building a new facility adjacent to Russell and District Hospital or renovating the old building.
