Outline of Quebec

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Quebec:
Quebec, a province in the eastern part of Canada, lies between Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. Sovereignty plays a large role in the politics of Quebec, and the official opposition social-democratic Parti Québécois advocates national sovereignty for the province and secession from Canada. Sovereigntist governments held referendums on independence in 1980 and in 1995; voters rejected both the latter by a very narrow margin. In 2006 the House of Commons of Canada passed a symbolic motion recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada."
