The capital of Quebec is Quebec City, where the Lieutenant Governor, Premier, the legislature, and cabinet reside.

List Of Quebec Premiers
This is a list of the prime ministers of the province of Quebec since Canadian Confederation in 1867. Quebec uses a unicameral (originally bicameral) Westminster-style parliamentary government, in which the prime minister is the leader of the party that controls the most seats in the National Assembly (previously called the Legislative Assembly). The prime minister is Quebec's head of government, while the king of Canada is its head of state and is represented by the lieutenant governor of Quebec. The prime minister picks a cabinet from the elected members to form the Executive Council of Quebec, and presides over that body. Members are first elected to the legislature during general elections. General elections must be conducted every four years from the date of the last election, but the premier may ask for early dissolution of the legislative assembly. An election may also happen if the Governing party loses the confidence of the legislature, by the defeat of a supply bill ...
