	Just found out why Quebec is most of the time excluded from
	contest available in Canada.  I have seen many contest where
	it says: available to Canada except for Quebec.
	
	The reason is:

	Quebec insists on having a law that says that if there is to
	be a contest available in Quebec that the companies have to
	pay 3% of the price if the contest is not availabe for the
	entire world and 0.5% of the price if the contest is available
	to the entire world to the Regie des alcools des courses et des
	jeux.  They say that this law is there to protect us to make
	sure that the winner will get the price, well what's the use if
	because of this law companies exlude us from even entering the
	contest??   This law is the reason why we people living in
	Quebec are exluded from contest offered by Microsoft, Disney
	and other companies.

	If the rest of Canada is able to live withouth this law why
	can't we do the same???  Why should we be excluded from
	entering a contest because Quebec insists on getting a piece
	of the price from the companies???

	If you do think that this law should be abolish please e-mail
	me, call or write to Regie des alcools des courses et des jeux,
	the president is Jocelyn K. Laflamme and the minister in charge
	of lottery is Robert Perreault.
