Possibilities
Nice shot. Probably a species of Thyanta or Banasa. You can try starting there anyway.

Banasa
Eric,

Thanks for the lead, looks like it may be of the Banasa genus. Check out this Insect Identifucation Guide for Quebec. The third image down looks pretty close to this one (especially the white mark on the scutellum).
