The province of [[Quebec]], [[Canada]], is officially divided into 17 [[Administrative division|administrative regions]]. Traditionally (and unofficially), it is divided into around twenty regions. They have no government of their own, but rather serve primarily to organize the provision of provincial government services, most significantly the allocation of regional economic development funding. As of the [[2021 Canadian census]], the population of Quebec was 8,501,833, the land area was {{convert|1,298,599.75|sqkm|abbr=on}} and the population density was {{convert|6.54|PD/sqkm}}.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Government of Canada |first=Statistics Canada |date=2022-02-09 |title=Population and dwelling counts: Canada, provinces and territories |url=https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810000101 |access-date=2022-10-14 |website=www150.statcan.gc.ca}}</ref> |

They were also the basis of organization for [[Regional conference of elected officers|regional conferences of elected officers]] ({{lang-fr|conférences régionales des élus, CRÉ}}), with the exception of the {{lang|fr|[[Montérégie]]}} and {{lang|fr|[[Nord-du-Québec]]}} regions, which each had three {{lang|fr|CRÉs}} or equivalent bodies. In the {{lang|fr|Nord-du-Québec}} region, the [[Kativik Regional Government]] and [[Cree Regional Authority]], in addition to their other functions, played the role of a {{lang|fr|CRÉ}}. The subregions of {{lang|fr|Montérégie}} and {{lang|fr|Nord-du-Québec}} had their own regional conference of elected officers ({{lang|fr|CRÉ}}). |

The province of Quebec, Canada, is officially divided into 17 administrative regions. Traditionally (and unofficially), it is divided into around twenty regions. They have no government of their own, but rather serve primarily to organize the provision of provincial government services, most significantly the allocation of regional economic development funding. As of the 2021 Canadian census, the population of Quebec was 8,501,833, the land area was 1,298,599.75 km2 (501,392.17 sq mi) and the population density was 6.54 inhabitants per square kilometre (16.9/sq mi).[1]
Function
Administrative regions are used to organize the delivery of provincial government services. They were also the basis of organization for regional conferences of elected officers (French: conférences régionales des élus, CRÉ), with the exception of the Montérégie and Nord-du-Québec regions, which each had three CRÉs or equivalent bodies. In the Nord-du-Québec region, the Kativik Regional Government and Cree Regional Authority, in addition to their other functions, played the role of a CRÉ. The subregions of Montérégie and Nord-du-Québec had their own regional conference of elected officers (CRÉ).
Administrative regions
Along with the administrative regions, municipalities with 20,000-plus populations in the 2021 Census are also indicated, with those 50,000 or more shown in bold print.
