List of premiers of Quebec
This is a list of the
premiers
of the province of
Quebec
,
Canada
, since
Confederation
in 1867. Quebec uses a unicameral (originally bicameral)
Westminster-style
parliamentary government
, in which the premier is the leader of the party that controls the most seats in the
National Assembly
(previously called the
Legislative Assembly
). The premier, sometimes called the prime minister, is Quebec's
head of government
, while the
Queen of Canada
is its
head of state
and is represented by the
Lieutenant Governor of Quebec
. The premier picks a cabinet from the elected members to form the
Executive Council of Quebec
, and presides over that body.
