Who appoints the Lieutenant Governor in each of the provinces?

The Prime Minister
The Governor General
The Sovereign
The Premier

The correct answer is: The Governor General

The appointment of the Lieutenant Governor in each province is made by the Governor General of Canada. This is significant because the Lieutenant Governor serves as the Queen's representative in the province, which connects the provincial level of government with the federal system and the Crown. When appointing a Lieutenant Governor, the Governor General usually consults with the Prime Minister, but it is the Governor General who formalizes the appointment. This reflects the constitutional structure of Canada, where executive powers are exercised on behalf of the Sovereign and delegated through the Governor General. The Lieutenant Governor plays an important role in provincial governance, participating in the legislative process, and fulfilling ceremonial duties. The other answer choices imply different levels of authority or roles that do not align with the established constitutional practices regarding the Lieutenant Governor's appointment.
