Though the power has never been used, the prime minister of Canada could (as a member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada) advise Her Majesty to veto a bill that has been passed within the previous two years. Though the executive power to do so rests with Her Majesty, the effective decision to do so would belong to the prime minister.

What is the queens position in Canada?
Section 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867 (titled the British North America Act at the time of its passage by the United Kingdom Parliament) vests executive government and authority for Canada in Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty is the Canadian head of State and, pursuant to the Royal Style and Titles Act, is styled the Queen of Canada independently of Her Majesty's titles elsewhere.The Queen appoints the Governor General of Canada as a Canadian representative (on the advice of the Canadian prime minister). The Governor General performs most of the Queen's functions, with a few exceptions: (a) only the Queen can authorise the expansion of the Senate's membership from 105 seats to up to 113 seats, on the recommendation of the Governor General; and (b) the Queen can veto bills assented to by the Governor General within two years of passage.
Who exercises the queen's authority in Canada?
Most of the Queen's powers are exercised, at the federal level, by the Governor General of Canada (the Queen's representative). The Governor General is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the prime minister. Some powers of the Queen are not delegated to the Governor General, such as the power to summon four or eight extra senators over the usual maximum seat count, and the power to veto legislation passed less than two years ago.The Governor General is also authorised to appoint several Canadians to serve as a Deputy of the Governor General, which enables them to also exercise the Queen's authority. The Chief Justice of Canada, and the puisne justices of the Supreme Court of Canada, tend to each be tapped as a Deputy of the Governor General. Presently, the current Secretary to the Governor General is also a Deputy.Should the Governor General be incapacitated, the Chief Justice of Canada becomes the Queen's Administrator of the Government, and can exercise all of the powers of the Governor General.

How are Canada's central and provincial government alike?
In the case of both the federal and provincial levels of government, the structure is divided into three components: the executive branch (which is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the state, and is responsible to an elected legislature); the legislative branch(which creates laws); and the judicial branch(which interprets laws).Executive BranchThe executive branch of both the federal and provincial levels of government consists of the Queen (represented by the Governor General at the federal level, or a Lieutenant Governor at the provincial level) acting on the advice of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada (federal) or the province's Executive Council (provincial). In both cases, these advisors (the prime minister or premier, and ministers) are accountable to the elected legislature. The Government must resign, or the legislature must be dissolved, if these ministers lose the support of elected legislators.Legislative BranchThe legislative branch of both levels of government consists of the Queen (represented by the Governor General or the Lieutenant Governor, as above), and a legislature. The federal legislature is the Parliament of Canada, and consists of the Senate (an appointed Upper House) and the House of Commons (an elected Lower House). All ten provincial legislatures consist of a single, elected chamber. (It should be noted that most provinces used to be bicameral, with an appointed Upper House; the last of these chambers was abolished in 1968.)A bill must be passed by both chambers (federally) or the single legislative chamber (provincially) before it is presented for the Royal Assent. At both levels of government, the representative of the Queen can grant the Royal Assent (which is almost always the case), or withhold the Royal Assent (which vetoes the bill). A province's Lieutenant Governor can also forward a bill to the Governor General for consideration, just as the Governor General can forward a bill to the Queen for consideration. The Governor General can disallow (i.e., veto) a provincial bill, even after its enactment, within two (2) years, just as the Queen can with bills passed federally.

She is also the queen of Canada, but she does not sign every bill (or any bill) enacted by the Canadian parliament; instead, those bills are signed by her representative, the Governor General of Canada. The queen does not veto anything, since her role is ceremonial. She reigns but does not actually govern.

veto it or pass it. 2nd Answer: Good answer, but the president can also simply not veto or sign it, but let it just sit there. Here's how it works: The President has 10 days, not counting Sundays to sign or veto a bill. If (s)he does neither and Congress is in session, the bill then passes just as if (s)he signed it. If (s)he does neither, and Congress is out of session, even if the President already has the bill, then the bill fails. This is called a 'pocket veto'. (Put the bill in your pocket and forget about it.)
