An Ontario court has again extended an order suspending legal proceedings against three major tobacco companies as they pursue mediation with their creditors.

The report suggests ways to reduce the percentage of Ontarians who smoke from 17 per cent to less than five per cent by 2035 - a target identified by the federal government.

The report, created by the Executive Steering Committee (ESC) — established by Ontario's Health Minister Eric Hoskins in spring 2017 — outlines a comprehensive 10-year smoke-free Ontario strategy.
