Morin code
text on parliamentary procedure used in Quebec
The Code Morin is the text Procédures des assemblées délibérantes, first published in 1938 by Victor Morin.
The code details procedures for organizational meetings, and was inspired by Robert's Rules of Order. It is the principal procedural code used in Quebec and in the francophone regions of New Brunswick.
Many different aspects of the structure of meetings are discussed in the code, including how topics are presented, how meetings are started, and how to calculate a quorum. It also details who can force a vote to be made, and who can present objections to the process of the meeting.

Why this record matters
The phrase “text on parliamentary procedure used in Quebec” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2981435. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1938.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
