Commission municipale du Québec
{{Short description|Quasi-judicial body in Quebec, Canada}}
The Commission municipale du Québec ({{IPA|fr|kɔmisjɔ̃ mynisipal dy kebɛk}}, Quebec Municipal Commission) is a quasi-judicial body that oversees municipal matters in the Canadian province of Quebec. The commission was founded in 1932 by the government of Louis-Alexandre Taschereau."Control of local bodies," Globe and Mail, 25 May 1932, p. 4.
The commission administers municipalities that have been placed under trusteeship. In 2013, the commission temporarily oversaw municipal affairs in Laval, Quebec's third-largest municipality, when its government was implicated in a corruption scandal.[http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-orders-laval-under-trusteeship-1.1371697 Quebec orders Laval under trusteeship], Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 3 June 2013, accessed 12 December 2013.
