« Since 2001, actions taken under the Government of Canada's Federal Tobacco Control Strategy (Strategy) have helped to lay the foundation for continued success in tobacco control. To build on this success, today, the Honourable Jane Philpott, Minister of Health, confirmed that the Government of Canada is moving forward on an extension of the Strategy, as well as the introduction of new tobacco legislation to address vaping products in Canada.
[…] Minister Philpott will host a national forum in early 2017, to discuss the future of tobacco control and hear from a wide range of stakeholders and Canadians, including First Nations and Inuit Canadians.
At the same time, to address the growing phenomenon of e-cigarettes and vaping, the Government will introduce amendments to the Tobacco Act to create a new legislative framework for regulating these products. »

The request states: "The Government of Canada has committed to introducing plain packaging requirements for tobacco products, similar to those in Australia and the United Kingdom. Such measures could consider prohibiting elements such as brand colours, logos, and graphics on tobacco packages." »
