A regional conference of representatives (
French: Conférence régionale des élus (CRE)) was a type of governance in an
administrative region of Quebec.
The CREs were primarily responsible for advising the
Government of Quebec on issues in their respective regions and implementing projects assigned to them by the government. As such, they were acting as both
interlocutors as well as agents.
They had no taxation or management powers in their respective regions. They worked with various political and socioeconomic partners, including the regional departments and agencies in Quebec, the
regional county municipalities, the local development centres and development corporations that operated in the region.
Originally Quebec was divided into 19 CREs, with complete territorial coverage: one for each of the administrative regions, except for
Montérégie which had three. Today there are more than 21 organisations, if first nations are included.
