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.[1] 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]),[2] His Majesty in Right of Quebec (French: Sa Majesté du chef du Québec, pronounced [sa maʒɛste dy ʃɛf dy kebɛk]),[3] or the King in Right of Quebec (French: le roi du chef du Québec, pronounced [lə ʁwa dy ʃɛf dy kebɛk]).[4] The Constitution Act, 1867, however, leaves many royal duties in the province specifically assigned to the sovereign's viceroy, the lieutenant governor of Quebec,[1] whose direct participation in governance is limited by the conventional stipulations of constitutional monarchy.[5]
