QBR.A Quebecor Inc

Quebecor (TSX:QBR.A)(TSX:QBR.B)today announces that it will delay the release of
its consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31,
2008. The release of Quebecor's consolidated financial results is dependent on
the production by Quebecor World of its own financial results. Quebecor released
its annual consolidated financial statements on May 8, 2008. It is now planning
the production of its quarterly financial results, which it expects to report in
early June 2008.


Due to the late filing, Quebecor will shortly ask the Autorite des Marches
Financiers ("AMF") to impose a management cease-trade order precluding
Quebecor's directors and officers from trading in Quebecor's securities.


Quebecor acknowledges that if its consolidated financial statements for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 are not filed by July 15, 2008, the AMF and other
Canadian securities regulatory authorities may issue cease-trade orders that
would extend to all of Quebecor's securities.


Quebecor intends to provide the information required by Ontario Securities
Commission Policy 57-603 and CSA Staff Notice 57-301, including the issuance of
bi-monthly status update reports, as long as the consolidated financial
statements are not filed.


Quebecor Media Inc., a subsidiary in which Quebecor holds a 54.7% interest,
reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 on May 6,
2008.
