HC 8 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Province of Québec; honor the longstanding and fruitful partnership with the State of Mississippi.

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) honoring Mississippi's historical and economic ties with Quebec. It recognizes the 1699 French settlement in Mississippi led by Quebec-born explorer d'Iberville, celebrates ongoing cultural exchanges (like annual commemorations), and highlights mutual economic benefits - including Quebec supplying over half of U.S. primary aluminum (used in Mississippi's auto industry) and Mississippi exporting 75% of its auto parts to Quebec. The resolution formally expresses Mississippi's commitment to continued collaboration with Quebec through trade and shared values. It has no binding effect but serves as a symbolic gesture of goodwill, directed to Quebec officials.
