MONTREAL — The Australian legislator behind the world’s most stringent cigarette-labelling law is urging Quebec to follow her country’s lead by introducing “plain packaging” for cigarettes.
On Tuesday, former Australian attorney general Nicola Roxon will address a National Assembly committee studying possible revisions to the Quebec Tobacco Act. In Quebec City at the invitation of the Coalition Québécoise pour le Contrôle du Tabac, Roxon, who also served as health minister in her country’s Labour government, has also lined up a one-on-one phone call Monday with Quebec Health Minister Réjean Hébert.
“I’m here to help their campaign urging Quebec and Canada to consider taking the next step in tobacco control,” Roxon said in a telephone interview from her hotel.
