Monarchy in Quebec

By the arrangements of the Canadian federation, Canada's monarchy operates in Quebec as the core of the province's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy and constitution. As such, the Crown within Quebec's jurisdiction is referred to as the Crown in Right of Quebec (French: couronne du chef du Québec, pronounced [kuʁɔn dy ʃɛf dy kebɛk]), His Majesty in Right of Quebec (French: Sa Majesté du chef du Québec, pronounced [sa maʒɛste dy ʃɛf dy kebɛk]), or the King in Right of Quebec (French: le roi du chef du Québec, pronounced [lə ʁwa dy ʃɛf dy kebɛk]). The Constitution Act, 1867, however, leaves many royal duties in the province specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the lieutenant governor of Quebec, whose direct participation in governance is limited by the conventional stipulations of constitutional monarchy.
