List of Quebec premiers

\nThis is a list of the premiers of Quebec, Canada since Confederation (1867). Note that the premier is always referred to in official Quebec government publications as the prime minister. In the English language, minister comes from Old French 'ministre', which in turn comes from the Latin 'minister', meaning 'servant'. When the French Canadians were introduced to British political terminology, they adopted it as is. However, they never adopted the distinction between 'premier' and 'prime minister' as used in English Canada. \n\n
