ITS FUNCTIONS. 187 (8) Assent to Bills. The position of the Ministry in regard fom to to the Governor-General’s assent to bills has been already referred to. The Governor-General is bound, as representing the Crown, to exercise his own discretion unfettered by any advice he may receive from his Ministers, though in practice he follows such advice. 2. As regards the Administration. The Ministry, as we have pointed out, is, unlike the Eng- ATS. lish Cabinet, known to the law. The duty of the Council is Powers. stated in the Act of Union to be to “aid and advise in the government of Canada.” It “aids” in the government by each member taking charge of the administration of a de- partment, and it “advises” by suggesting to the Governor- General the course he should pursue under given circum- stances. The Union Act and Instructions specify certain matters Powers of that are to be transacted by the Governor-General in Council as or after receiving the advice of the Council, viz :— Cognil. 1. The appointment of Lieutenant-Governors of Pro- vinces®, 2. The exercise of the prerogative of pardon? 8. The exercise of all powers which at the Union were vested in the Governors of the Provinces with the advice of the resvective Executive Councils thereof®. 4. The hearing of any Appeal under section 93 regarding the rights and privileges of the Protestant or Roman Catholic minority of the Queen’s Subjects in a Province in relation to Education. The administrative powers conferred on the Governor in Council by Canadian statutes are very numerous. Such powers are exercised by Orders in Council published in the Canadian Gazette and printed as a rule with the statutes for the year. 1B. N. A. Act, 8. 58. 3B N. A. Act. g, 12.
