Governor General
The correct response is "Governor General." The Governor General is someone appointed by the monarch (King or Queen) to act in his/her place in Canada.
The correct answer is "Governor General."
To arrive at the answer, we can eliminate a few options. The Prime Minister, although a significant political position in Canada, is not appointed by the monarch to act in their place. The Assistant to the Governor is not a specific role in Canada's government structure. The House of Commons, on the other hand, is part of the parliamentary system and functions as the lower house of Canada's federal legislature but does not represent an individual appointed by the monarch.
This leaves us with "Governor General." In Canada, the Governor General is appointed by the monarch (King or Queen) to represent them and perform constitutional and ceremonial duties on their behalf. The Governor General carries out responsibilities such as the opening and closing of Parliament, delivering the Speech from the Throne, and giving royal assent to legislation passed by Parliament.
