For contests, the Quebec government has many rules and regulations which are not applicable in all other Canadian provinces and territories.

To avoid the extra work, financial obligations, and also avoid any legal action by the Quebec government, many companies will simply exclude Quebec in its eligibility requirement clause in the contest rules.
