Nice spider! This is a female running crab spider (Philodromidae), and the species is probably Tibellus oblongus (but, there are two other species in Quebec that look very similar - it might be either of them, too). You'd have to check the epigyne to determine the exact species. There is some more information on identifying these spiders in a recent thread:
