This chapter traces the evolution of Québec’s cultural policy and its administration by public authorities. After an overview of the first government interventions in this domain, it focuses on the province’s policy, which was formalized when the Ministère des Affaires culturelles (MAC) was created in 1961, a first in the Americas. As a predominantly French-speaking society in a predominantly English speaking Canada, Québec has a distinctive cultural policy, notably with regard to its scope, extent, and magnitude. Unlike other provinces, whose relations with the federal government in the cultural sphere are generally harmonious and recognize Ottawa’s role as a promoter of Canadian culture, Québec has developed and implemented cultural policies that promote French-Canadian culture and, more specifically, since the 1960s and 1970s, Québécois culture. Promotion of identity and affirmation of the Francophone minority in Canada explain the importance given to culture and the French language by successive Québec governments, regardless of the political party in power. Québec’s cultural policy has developed over decades, sometimes via power struggles.
