==Borders== Quebec is bordered by the province of [[Ontario]], [[James Bay]] and [[Hudson Bay]] (including the circular [[Nastapoka arc]]) to the west, the provinces of [[New Brunswick]] and [[Newfoundland and Labrador]] to the east and [[Hudson Strait]] and [[Ungava Bay]] to the north. Its northernmost point is [[Cape Wolstenholme]]. Quebec also shares a land border with four northeast states of the United States ([[Maine]], [[New Hampshire]], [[New York (state)|New York]] and [[Vermont]]) to the south.<ref name="qcborders" /> In 1927, the border between the Province of Quebec and the [[Dominion of Newfoundland]] was delineated by the British [[Judicial Committee of the Privy Council]]. The government of Quebec does not officially recognize the [[Newfoundland and Labrador–Quebec border]]. A [[Labrador#Boundary dispute|border dispute]] remains regarding the ownership of [[Labrador]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vigile.net/1927-le-Quebec-est-ampute-du |title=Labrador is no longer part of Quebec, Explanations on the situation |author=VAILLANCOURT, Jacques|publisher=Vigile.net |date=May 6, 2009 |access-date=June 25, 2011|language=fr}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.saic.gouv.qc.ca/centre_de_presse/communiques/2001/saic_com20011031.htm |title=The Minister of Natural Resources of Quebec and Minister for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs express Quebec's position in relation to the constitutional changes in the designation of Newfoundland |author=Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs Secretariat |publisher=Government of Quebec |date=October 31, 2001 |access-date=December 10, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050428091824/http://www.saic.gouv.qc.ca/centre_de_presse/communiques/2001/saic_com20011031.htm |archive-date=April 28, 2005 }}</ref> A maritime boundary also exists with the territories of [[Nunavut]], [[Prince Edward Island]] and [[Nova Scotia]].
