Quotes from the President and CEO
"This excellent performance demonstrates the strength of our organization and our ability to maintain a growth trajectory, while generating significant benefits for Quebec," says Jean-François Bergeron.
“It is essential that Loto-Québec take its place in the online gaming sector, including sports betting, in order to ensure better regulation and guarantee that profits benefit the Quebec community. We favour a responsible approach, which aims to capture the market rather than stimulate its growth.”
“Our major real estate projects—namely, the addition of a hotel adjacent to the Montreal Casino, the establishment of gaming halls in Rimouski and Saguenay, and the expansion of the convention centre at the Hôtel-Casino du Lac-Leamy—reflect our commitment to enriching the customer experience and contributing to the economic and tourism vitality of Quebec.”
