Videotron is a Canadian telecommunications company, a part of the larger Quebecor Media conglomerate. The company's origins date back to 2000 when Quebecor Media purchased Videotron for CA$4.9 billion. The transfer of broadcasting licenses from Videotron to Quebecor Media was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in May 2001. Quebecor Inc., the parent company, fully owns Quebecor Media as of June 2018. Prior to this, CDP Capital d’Amérique Investissements Inc., a subsidiary of the provincial pension fund Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, held an 18.9% share. Quebecor announced its intention to buy out the remainder of the Caisse's stake for $1.69 billion in cash and stock on May 8, 2018.
