The province of Quebec, Canada, is officially divided into 17 administrative regions. Traditionally (and unofficially), it is divided into around twenty regions. They have no government of their own, but rather serve primarily to organize the provision of provincial government services, most significantly the allocation of regional economic development funding. As of the 2016 Canadian Census, the population of Quebec was 8,164,361, the land area was 1,356,625.27 km2 (523,795.95 sq mi) and the population density was 6.0 inhabitants per square kilometre (16/sq mi).[1]
Function
Administrative regions are used to organize the delivery of provincial government services. They were also the basis of organization for regional conferences of elected officers (Template:Lang-fr), with the exception of the Montérégie and Nord-du-Québec regions, which each have three CRÉs or equivalent bodies. In the Nord-du-Québec region, the Kativik Regional Government and Cree Regional Authority, in addition to their other functions, play the role of a CRÉ. The subregions of Montérégie and Nord-du-Québec have their own regional conference of elected officers (CRÉ).
Administrative Regions
Along with the administrative regions, the seat[2] of each CRÉ is listed. Other municipalities with 20,000-plus populations in the 2011 Census are also indicated, with those 50,000 or more shown in bold print. If the population of a CRÉ is less than 20,000, it is shown in italics.
- Mauricie–Bois-Francs was split in 1997 to create Mauricie and Centre-du-Québec administrative regions (note, the notion of Mauricie as a traditional region long predates this)
- In January 2000, Québec administrative region was renamed Capitale-Nationale.
