and the management and operation of games of chance fell under provincial jurisdiction. Provinces are however required to transfer a part of their lottery profits to the federal government. In 2006, this transfer amounted to C$14.1 million. In 1976, Loto-Québec held its first million-dollar draw in a lottery called Super Loto. On June 12, 1982, Lotto 6/49 became the first pan-Canadian lottery, with a jackpot of C$500,000. Despite its humble beginnings, the corporation has since become one of the biggest of its kind in Canada. In 1993, a weekly game show produced by Loto-Québec and Canadian broadcaster TVA made its debut as La Poule aux œufs d'or. Each week, contestants will choose one of twenty-four golden eggs to win cash prizes. The show was first hosted by Guy Mongrain and is currently hosted by Sébastien Benoît and Julie Houle. On May 25, 2004, activists and public personalities came together to create the EmJEU coalition (Ethics for moderation in gambling). While not prohibitionist or anti-gambling per se, coalition members demanded secure and ethical administration at Loto-Québec and for the entire games of chance industry. They were in part responsible for a public debate on the place games of chance should have in Quebec society and all related issues. In short, EmJEU members demanded the same kind of legislation and regulations for gambling that governed the tobacco industry. On June 22, 2005, in partnership with Cirque du Soleil, Loto-Québec proposed to relocate the Casino de Montréal in the Peel Street Basin, close to the Old Port's Cité du Havre in order to become part of a world-class entertainment complex that would include a hotel, performance hall and other components. The project came under fierce criticism from the population of the area, the EmJEU coalition and the Montreal public health authority, which issued a Public Health Warning. The project also led to a polemic on the place games of chance should have in Québec. Following the March 10, 2006 publication of the government-ordered Guy Coulombe report that imposed strict conditions on the project, Cirque du Soleil withdrew from the controversial project and the casino relocation proposal was dropped. On March 30, 2006, Loto-Québec became an official partner in the Casinos Développement Europe group through its Casino Mundial subsidiary, with a 35% share ownership position. The other two partners are Bridgepoint Capital (55%) and a group of senior managers of this group formerly known
