Richelieu-Saint-Laurent police received a 911 call at 11:30 p.m. Sunday about the incident in a house on Ménard Street near Principale Street in Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Que.
According to police spokesperson Jean-Luc Tremblay, the 51-year-old woman's two children were in the home at the time of the stabbing and that one of them called 911.
The woman was transported to hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. The accused was arrested on site.
"They seemed to have been living together. They were together for a certain amount of time," Tremblay said. "We're speaking about a domestic incident."
Police say they were expected to interview the two children, one of whom is a teenager and the other a young adult, sometime on Monday.
