The province of
Quebec, in
Canada, elects members of
Parliament at the federal level and members of the
National Assembly at the provincial level. Electoral districts (known as "electoral divisions" or circonscriptions) at the provincial level have evolved over the years.
1867
The
Legislative Assembly of Quebec was created, with 65 seats.
The electoral districts for Quebec in 1867 were the same for the
Legislative Assembly of Quebec and the federal
House of Commons; they were the districts already in place for the pre-Confederation
Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada. (s. 40.2 and 80 of the Constitution Act 1867)
It would be renamed the National Assembly on December 31, 1968.
(#) These twelve districts were entrenched because they could only be redistricted by the Legislative Assembly of Quebec with the consent of the MPs elected in those 12 districts (s. 80 + schedule 2 Constitution Act 1867)
