Does the Canadian flag fly at provincial buildings in Quebec City?

http://encarta.msn.com/media_461533646/Canada_Flag_and_Anthem.html

Newfoundland, the former British colony, joined Canada in 1949.
With the discovery of oil off Newfoundland & Labrador at Hibernia and
higher world oil prices there has been a simmering dispute over
offshore oil revenues.

The dispute flared into a "Flag Flap" between the Canadian federal
government, presently led by General Secretary Paul Martin, and the
Newfoundland & Labrador provincial government, presently led by
Premier Danny Williams.

Martin says no negotiations until the flags go up again.
My question is, does the Canadian flag fly at provincial buildings in
Quebec City, the provincial capital of Quebec?

Thank you Pink and Bhushan for the two links from 2000 and 2001.
For the sake of Clarity? I would like something current, or from 2004.

Hi again, grthumongous,

Ok, after a frustrating internet search, I decided to go directly to
the source. I phoned the Hôtel du Parlement and asked your question.
They told me that the Maple Leaf flies inside the Legislature Assembly
but not outside the building. They said it has never flown outside,
only inside. If you have any other questions, you can phone the
toll-free number.

Hôtel du Parlement
Québec (Québec)
G1A 1A4
Phone: (418) 643-7239
Toll free number: 1 866 députés (337-8837)

The photo at the following link clearly shows the provincial flag atop
the Parliament Building.

Grthumongous, it suddenly hit me that perhaps you were asking about
*inside* the parliament buildings, not *outside*! If so, I knew the
answer. One of the first things Jean Charest did when he became
premier was to bring the Canadian flag back into the National
Assembly.

"But while Charest slipped the Canadian flag back into the provincial
legislature after taking power this spring, he's not expected to spark
a frenzy of Maple Leaf-waving."

Sorry if I misunderstood you,
hummer

Thanks Hummer.
And you *did* understand me correctly...it was the outside I was 
wondering about.  Makes one wonder why the Upper Canada media
doesn't...

This is interesting, but it is not specifically about Quebec City:

You're welcome, grthumongous, thank you as well for your nice rating
and tip. I'm glad to hear we were on the same page. It's funny how it
hit me out-of-the-blue, you know those moments when something is
furthest from your mind and all of a sudden, bonk, did he mean
*inside*? By the way, the maple leaf *does* fly outside the Quebec
City Town Hall (unless something has changed recently).

Take care,
hummer
