The LT is the provincial equivalent of the Governer General of Canada. As the Queen's Representative in a given province in Canada the LT is the head of state within the province who's main responsibility is to give "royal assent" to a legislative bill (i.e. a provincial piece of law). Royal assent makes the bill into a statute which means it is law (provided its coming into force is not delayed on purpose, something they would write into the statute). Effectively the LT is a figurehead. Technically the LT could refuse to give royal assent to any bill, but this has never happened to my knowledge. Also the Queens Representitive of Canada
