Best Answer

Lieutenant governors represent Her Majesty the Queen of Canada.

(Note that at the outset of Confederation, Lieutenant Governors represent the Government of Canada through the Governor General. Constitutional developments have led to the evolution of the role of the Lieutenant Governor to be an outright representative of the Sovereign, not beholden to the advice of the federal viceroy or vicereign, or his or her federal ministers.)

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.
