Quotes from the President and CEO

“This excellent performance shows the strength of our organization and our ability to maintain our growth trajectory, while generating significant spin-offs for Québec,” says Jean-François Bergeron.

“It is essential that Loto-Québec strengthen its position in online gaming, including sports betting, to ensure greater oversight and that the profits generated benefit the people of Québec. We’re promoting a responsible approach, aiming to capture the market rather than stimulate its growth.”

“Our cornerstone real-estate projects–the addition of a hotel adjacent to the Casino de Montréal, new gaming halls in Rimouski and Saguenay, and the expansion of the Hôtel-Casino du Lac-Leamy conference centre–are part of our commitment to enhancing the experience we offer our customers and contributing to Québec’s economic and touristic vitality.”
