   In 2016, the Québec provincial government adopted an omnibus law that   
   set out a large number of budgetary measures. Included in this   
   omnibus legislation were provisions that purported to amend sections   
   260.33 to 260.37 of the Consumer Protection Act (the "CPA") to require   
   that internet service providers ("ISP"s) take steps to block persons   
   in Québec from accessing online gambling sites other than those   
   conducted and managed by Loto-Québec (the "Provincial Provisions")   
      
   The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (known in French   
   as the Association canadienne des télécommunications sans fil) (the   
   "Association"), a non-profit association representing the wireless   
   telecommunications industry, commenced an application in the Montreal   
   Superior Court, challenging the validity, applicability, and   
   operability of the Provincial Provisions.
