The tobacco giants sought creditor protection in Ontario in early 2019 after they lost an appeal in a landmark court battle in Quebec .
Under the proposed plan filed Thursday , provinces and territories would receive payments over time, with roughly $6 billion to be paid out when the deal is implemented.
The Quebec plaintiffs would file claims for compensation of up to $100,000 each.
The proposal must still go through several steps before it can be put into action.
