The Quebec Conference ,the second meeting held in 1864 to discuss Canadian Confederation, began on October 9, 1864. There was a major disagreement between those who favoured a strong federal government (Canada West) and those who argued for provincial rights (Canada East and the Maritimes). The delegates agreed to divide powers between federal and provincial governments. They also decided to have an elected lower house, the House of Commons and an appointed upper house, the Senate.

The Canada Post Office issued the Quebec Conference stamp on September 9, 1964.
