In the new environment created by the digital revolution, Quebecor is now fully equipped to face the competition from global giants and to offer all its audiences tools and products that are comparable to the best in the world. It has been a privilege to be part of the growth of this cutting-edge company and I thank Pierre Karl and his entire management team."
