On 21st January 1948 the flag of Quebec, a provincial flag was adopted in Canada for very first time. The flag is known as ‘Fleurdelise’. The flag is white and blue in colour. The white cross is taken from the ancient royal flag of France. The white is the symbol of purity (fleurs-de-lis), blue field signifies in the heaven which came from the banner honouring the Virgin Mary.
In order to honour this day Canada issued a stamp depicting the Quebec flag in 1979 of 17 cents.
The flag's official ratio is 2:3 (width to length), but the flag is very often seen as a 1:2 variant to match the flag of Canada in size when flying together.
The Act concerning the flag and emblems of Quebec states that "in all cases, the flag of Quebec has precedence over any other flag or emblem." However, under the federal protocol, the Canadian flag takes precedence when both are flown. When a Federalist Party controls the National Assembly of Quebec, both the flag of Quebec and the flag of Canada are displayed on either side of the President's dais, whereas when a sovereignties party controls the chamber, only the Quebec flag is displayed.
