Québec has a unicameral parliament (formerly bicameral parliament) with a parliamentary government based on the Westminster system . Here, the Prime Minister is also chairman of the party, in the National Assembly (English National Assembly of Quebec , French Assemblée nationale du Québec ) holds the most seats. The prime minister appears as head of government , while the head of state , the Canadian monarch , is represented by a vice-governor (French lieutenant-governor ).
