Any bill not returned by the Governor within 60 calendar days after it is presented to him shall become law. If recess or adjournment of the General Assembly prevents the return of a bill, the bill and the Governor's objections must be filed with the Secretary of State within such 60 calendar days. The Secretary of State must return the bill and objections to the originating chamber promptly upon the next meeting of the same General Assembly at which the bill can be considered.

Who are the Governor General's representatives in the provinces?
The Governor General does not have provincial representatives.When the Constitution Act, 1867 was originally passed, the Lieutenant Governors of each province were appointed to represent the Governor General-in-Council. As the relationship between the provinces and the federal Government evolved, however, the Lieutenant Governors became representatives of Her Majesty the Queen, rather than the Government of Canada. Even today, Lieutenant Governors have the power to refer a provincial bill to the Governor General for royal assent, and the Governor General has the power to disallow a bill granted royal assent by a Lieutenant Governor.
