Editing Legislative Council of Quebec (section)

== Speakers of the Legislative Council of Quebec (1867–1968) ==

The Speaker of the Legislative Council (in French, the ''Orateur'') was appointed by the government.  Most Speakers sat in the Cabinet. The Speaker was the presiding officer of the Legislative Council, but could vote like other members. In the event of a tie, the Speaker did not have a casting vote.  The motion simply failed.
