The government of Quebec felt that the economy should be controlled either
through direct or indirect state intervention and action. As a result, throughout the period
of the Quiet Revolution, the government of Quebec created a number of government
Crown Corporations whose purpose it was to develop Quebec's economy and expertise.
These included:
 

Société générale de financement (SGF) which promotes investment in Quebec companies.

SIDBEC which attempted to develop the steel industry in Quebec.

SOQUEM which encouraged the development of mining in Quebec.

Caisse de dépot et de placement which manages the government's pension, automobile and workers' compensation funds. Today, it has approximately 60 billion dollars in assets.

Nationalization (government purchase or takeover) of seven of Quebec's largest private hydro-electric companies into Hydro-Québec six months after the elections of 1962 under the Minister of Natural Resources, Réne Lévesque.
