Quebec (pronounced or ) (French: Qu?bec, pronounced ) 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). This represents about 24% of the Canadian population. Quebec's primary and only official language is French, making up the bulk of the Francophone population in North America. Quebec is the only Canadian province where English is not an official language (at the provincial level), and it is one of only two Canadian provinces where French is an official language (the other, per the Constitution Act of 1982, is New Brunswick. Manitoba enjoys limited official bilingualism, such as in the publication of its laws as provided for in the Manitoba Act of 1870.) The capital is Quebec City (simply referred to as "Qu?bec" in French) and the largest city is Montreal (or Montr?al in French).
