Quebec (pronounced [kwəˈbɛk] or [kəˈbɛk]) (French: Québec, pronounced [kebɛk]) is the largest province in Canada geographically, and the second most populous, after Ontario, with a population of 7,568,640 (Statistics Canada, January 2005).

 Coat of Arms of Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arms of Her Majesty in Right of the Province of Quebec was assigned by royal warrant of Queen Victoria on May 26, 1868 to be the coat of arms of Quebec.
The arms were modified by Order-in-Council of the Quebec government on December 9, 1939.
It has been argued that since heraldry is a royal prerogative, not provincial, that the Quebec government had no authority to make this change; however, this coat is the one used by the Quebec government since that time, and no serious attempt to change the situation has come to light.
