Does the tobacco industry still have special tax breaks?

Tobacco farming in Ontario is a government regulated monopoly with the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing Board issuing licences without which tobacco cannot legally be grown. I also note that in 2008, tobacco farmers got a $300 million bailout to exit their failing industry.

Lots of companies in many industries went bankrupt in 2008. Not too many got $300 million on their way out.
