Quebec
(pronounced [kwəbek]
or, in French, Québec (pronounced [kebɛk]),
is a Canadian province in Central Canada.
Affectionately
known as la belle province ("the beautiful
province"), Quebec is bordered to the west by the
province of Ontario, James Bay and Hudson
Bay. To the north are the Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay,
to the east the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, the provinces of
New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, and to the
south the United States (the states of New York,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine). It also shares
maritime borders with the Territory of Nunavut and the
provinces of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.

Quebec
is Canada's largest province by area and its
second-largest administrative division; only the
territory of Nunavut is larger. It is the second most
populated province, and most of its inhabitants live
along or close to the banks of the Saint Lawrence River.
The central and north portion of the province is
sparsely populated and inhabited by the aboriginal
peoples of Canada.
The
official language of Quebec is French; it is the sole
Canadian province whose population is mainly French
Canadian, and where English is not an official language
at the provincial level.
Quebec,
then called Canada, formed part of the colonial empire
of New France until the Seven Years' War, when it was
conquered by Great Britain; the 1763 Treaty of Paris
formally transferred the colony to British possession.
Quebec became a province of the Canadian Confederation
upon its founding in 1867.
While
the province's substantial natural resources have long
been the mainstay of its economy, Quebec has renewed
itself to function effectively in the knowledge economy:
information and communication technologies, aerospace,
biotechnology, and health industries.
