The governor general is required by both the Constitution Act (previously the British North America Act), 1867, and the letters patent issued in 1947 by King George VI.[17] As such, theCanadian monarch approves with commission issued under the royal sign-manual and Great Seal of Canada her Canadian prime minister‘s recommendation for viceroy, who is from then until being sworn-in referred to as the governor general-designate.[18][19]
Our new Governor General is slated to take office in October after Michaelle Jean finishes her term.
