"The contest is open to legal residents of Canada (excluding Quebec)," the Toronto-based group spells out in the rules and regulations for the contest, which closed Friday. It referred all questions to Plan International Canada. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is a Global Ambassador for Plan International Canada and regularly participates in its events. However, Joyce Tremblay, spokeswoman for the Régie d'alcohol, des courses et des jeux, says it never received an application from Plan International Canada. Gaspé resident Claire Canet questions why Plan International Canada excludes Quebecers like her teen daughter from the contest.
