The official name for pardoning a criminal that the Governor General has the right to do is "Royal Prerogative of Mercy." This power allows the Governor General to grant clemency or pardon to individuals convicted of offenses, typically based on recommendations from the justice system or other relevant bodies. It is a constitutional power that reflects the mercy and compassion of the state.

Which is Canada's top official the Prime Minister or the Governor General?

The Governor General is Canada's top official. The Governor General outranks the Prime Minister in the Canadian order of precedence, and is second only to the Queen, while the Prime Minister comes after all members of the royal family. The Governor General is generally accorded the protocol of a Head of State as the representative of the Queen, while the Prime Minister is accorded the protocol of a Head of Government, which is a lower rank. However, despite this, the Governor General is required by convention to almost always follow the Prime Minister's "advice", so while the Governor General has more authority, the Prime Minister has more actual power.
