Encyclopedia > Premiers of Quebec

This is a list of the premiers of Quebec, Canada since Confederation (1867).


Notes:

  • The premier is always referred to as the prime minister in official Quebec government publications .
  • In English, the word 'minister' comes from Old French 'ministre', which in turn comes from the Latin 'minister', meaning 'servant'. When the French Canadians were introduced to British political terminology, they adopted it as is. However, they never adopted the distinction between 'premier' (first minister of a province) and 'prime minister' (first minister of a country) as used in English Canada.
