and Registration; (Quebecor Inc., Class A Multiple Voting Shares) File 
No. 1-7103

December 3, 1998.
    Quebecor Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to

12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
Security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the 
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company 
authorizing the withdrawal of its Security from listing on the Amex and 
by setting forth in detail to the Exchange the reasons for the proposed 
withdrawal, and the facts in support thereof. In making the decision to

is decreasing to a level below 300. The Security is currently being 
traded on the Montreal Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange and the 
Company intends to maintain their listings on these exchanges.
    The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to 
the withdrawal of the Company's Security from listing on the Amex.
