L.R.Q. - Lois Refondues du Quebec (Canada)
The French and official version of the Revised Statutes of Quebec; the English citation is
R.S.Q. (Revised Statutes of Quebec).
As Quebec laws are adopted by the Quebec Legislature (
Assemblée Nationale), they shed their respective parliamentary "Bill" number and are issued Statute of Quebec chapter numbers in the order in which each is assented to, from January 1 of each year, becoming that chapter in the annual Statutes of Quebec (
Statuts du Quebec or
S.Q.). Most are then quickly incorporated into the consolidated collection of Quebec laws:
Lois Refondues du Quebec (Revised Statutes of Quebec -
R.S.Q.), a permanent collection and from which the statute takes a permanent chapter number for all future reference.
For example, the Quebec Labour Code as of 2010, presented in both the English R.S.Q. then the French
L.R.Q. legal citations:
-
An Act respecting labour standards, R.S.Q. c. N-1.1
- Loi sur les normes du travail, L.R.Q. c. N-1.1
