The Special Council of Lower Canada was an appointed body which administered Lower Canada until the Union Act of 1840 created the Province of Canada. Following the Lower Canada Rebellion, on March 27, 1838, the Constitutional Act of 1791 was suspended and both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council were dissolved. The Act of Union united Upper and Lower Canada into a single province with a single parliament, consisting of an upper and lower house. Upon the first meeting of this parliament, the Special Council was dissolved. There were three Special Councils:

  • Le Conseil spécial du Bas-Canada est le conseil législatif temporaire institué à la suite de la suspension des pouvoirs du Parlement du Bas-Canada le 27 mars 1838 en vertu de l'Acte pour établir des dispositions temporaires pour le gouvernement du Bas-Canada. La particularité de cette institution est de ne pas comprendre de représentation élue par le peuple de la province. Son fonctionnement est semblable à celui du Conseil législatif non-élu institué par la constitution de 1774. (fr)
