Provincial NDP Leader Dominic Cardy is calling for the provincial government to kick a habit.
The NDP say the government is violating a law on tobacco control by having 243,000 shares in tobacco company stock through the NB Investment Management Corporation.
In a release Cardy says Canada is one of the many countries that adopted anti-corruption guidelines in 2009 that states it would have no financial interest in the tobacco industry.
The NDP are requesting the Alward government drop the share and create a public report when it’s done.
