Lieutenant Governor of Quebec
Representative in Quebec of the Canadian monarch / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the representative of the monarch in Quebec. For the political advisor to a federal party leader on Quebec issues, see Quebec lieutenant.
The lieutenant governor of Quebec (/lɛfˈtɛnənt/; (French: lieutenante-gouverneure du Québec)[lower-alpha 1] is the representative in Quebec of the monarch, who operates distinctly within the province but is also shared equally with the ten other jurisdictions of Canada, as well as the other Commonwealth realms and any subdivisions thereof, and resides predominantly in his oldest realm, the United Kingdom. The lieutenant governor of Quebec is appointed in the same manner as the other provincial viceroys in Canada and is similarly tasked with carrying out most of the monarch's constitutional and ceremonial duties.[1] The present and 30th lieutenant governor of Quebec is Manon Jeannotte, who has served in the role since January 25, 2024.[2]
