EPSG:6622 NAD83(CSRS)v2 / Quebec Lambert
Projected system (Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP)) in use: Canada - Quebec. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
