“Following discussions and meetings over the past months, we were happy to note that the public corporation took our concerns into account,” said Yves Servais, General Manager of the Association des marchands dépanneurs et épiciers du Québec (AMDEQ) in Loto-Quebec's press release. “The AMDEQ is, therefore, pleased to see that Loto-Québec has included retailers in the online sale project of certain lottery products. Loto-Québec recognizes the importance of retailers in the sale of lottery products in Québec.”

Martine Hébert, Vice-President of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) for Québec added: “it is important to consider the interests of small retailers, as they play an essential role in lottery sales. We are therefore pleased to know that they will receive a percentage of online lottery sale revenues.”
