Well the lawsuit is alleging that the companies knowingly withheld information regarding addiction. I guess the province could sue the feds for botching the review process but I still think the pharmaceutical companies are culpable here. I believe there's quite a bit of legal precedent that stipulates that companies can't knowingly put harmful products out into the marketplace and then turn around and blame the regulator for not catching them ahead of time.
