Quebec's Provinces and Territories: An Overview

The following is a list of the provinces and territories of Quebec. The main difference between a province and a territory is that provinces are part of the Quebec mainland. Territories are typically smaller in size and population and therefore receive less representation in government. The provinces and territories are listed in the order in which they joined the Quebec Federation.
