> 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. -- France Dumont mailto:France@axess.com
