What role does the Governor General play in the passage of a bill?

Proposes amendments
Grants royal assent
Votes in the Senate
Debates in the House of Commons

The correct answer is: Grants royal assent

The Governor General holds a ceremonial role in Canada's parliamentary system and serves as the Queen's representative. While they do not have any voting or debating power in the House of Commons or Senate, they do have the power to grant royal assent to a bill, allowing it to become a law. This means that the bill has been formally approved by the Governor General on behalf of the Queen. Therefore, B is the correct answer as the Governor General plays a crucial role in the final step of passing a bill into law. A, C, and D are incorrect because while each of these may play a role in the passage of a bill, they are not within the realm of responsibility for the Governor General.
