The main duty of the Governor General is to represent the Queen of Canada.
The Queen is Canada's head of State, and Her Majesty's executive functions are exercised on the advice of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. By the conventions of responsible government, however, only those privy councillors who are currently ministers responsible to the elected House of Commons may advise the Queen, and the monarch's representatives. These exercises of the Queen's functions, by the Governor General, are referred to as the Governor General-in-Council*.
The Governor General, representing the Queen as one of the components of the Parliament of Canada, summons, prorogues and dissolves Parliament on the advice of the prime minister. The Governor General is also responsible for granting royal assent to bills passed by both Houses of Parliament. The Governor General can (a) grant royal assent; (b) refuse royal assent; or (c) reserve royal assent for the Queen's personal consideration. No bill can become law without the assent of the Queen, Her Majesty's Governor General, or one of the Governor General's authorised deputies.
The Governor General leads the recognition of excellence in Canada, as the Chancellor of the Order of Canada, the Order of Military Merit, and the Order of Merit of the Police Forces.

What prime minister brought taxes into Canada?
Section 91(3) of the Constitution Act, 1867 grants to the Parliament of Canada vast authority to levy taxes through any method. The passage of the Act, and the collection of taxes, were set up before the appointment of a post-Confederation prime minister. Section 92(2) of the Act grants more narrow taxation powers to the provinces, authorizing direct taxes (such as levying their own provincial sales taxes).
Perhaps the most notable creation of a federal tax is the controversial enactment of the Goods and Services Tax (the GST) by the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, P.C., then the 18th prime minister. The sales tax is charged on all provinces, and in five provinces, is blended with the provincial sales tax.
