| | Governor General of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | If the Governor General dies or leaves the country for more than one month, the Chief Justice of Canada (or, if that position is vacant, the senior Puisne Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada) serves as Administrator of the Government of Canada, and exercises all powers of the Governor General. | | | The Governor General acts as the Queen's vice-regal representative in Canada and is often viewed as the de facto head of state. | | | This arrangement continued after the establishment of the Dominion of Canada in 1867; the Governor General and Lieutenant-Governors remained symbolic representatives of the Crown and of the British Government, while actual political power was vested in the Prime Minister of Canada and in the premiers, at the federal and provincial levels respectively. |
