The government of Quebec awards an order of merit called the National Order of Quebec. It is inspired in part by the French Legion of Honour. It is conferred upon men and women born or living in Quebec (but non-Quebecers can be inducted as well) for outstanding achievements.

Planning, state intervention, modernisation and social change were not elements peculiar to Quebec. They were part of the spirit of the time; but because they happened so rapidly in Quebec, in such a short and concentrated period of time, they seemed to have a sense of urgency and prevalence here that they did not always have elsewhere. For a province that seemed to have developed previously seemingly aside from the movements that agitated others, to belong to the sense of the time, to be swimming with the current, and not against it as sometimes occurred before, was exhilarating. The national time clock of Quebec had been reset from its traditional magnet to be resolutely in step (ahead of the pack?) with the most progressive to be found anywhere. All of that emphasised that the outlook of Quebecers had become resolutely far more internationalist; indeed Quebec heroes were as likely to come from the USA (Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy) or Cuba as they were to be home grown. The opening to the world was unmistakable.
