Would it make sense for our government, being a small jurisdiction with limited financial resources, to perhaps hold off on trying to develop some kind of action against the tobacco companies until someone else has basically broken the trail, has gone ahead of us, has proven in the courts that it is actually possible to get compensation for this? Again, I know there’s some economies of partnering with other jurisdictions that are pursuing the same thing, but just in terms of our timing and our resources, if we could see the success that someone else had and try to mirror some kind of an action on what someone else has done in a province that has a lot more money than we do, would that be not the wise course of action to take? Thank you.
