The president of the National Assembly of Quebec (French; Président de l'Assemblée nationale du Québec) is the presiding officer of the National Assembly of Quebec, Canada, which is modeled after the Westminster parliamentary system.
In other Anglophone parliaments and legislatures the equivalent position is often called the "Speaker", which is why from 1867 to 1968, the presiding officer of the Assembly was known in French as "orateur," a translation of the English term "speaker".
The president of the National Assembly is fifth in the Quebec order of precedence, after the king of Canada, the lieutenant governor of Quebec, the premier, and the deputy premier.
Parti Québécois Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Louise Harel made history by being appointed as the first female president on March 12, 2002.
The current president of the Assembly is the CAQ MNA Nathalie Roy.
