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.
