PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURES. 45 Councils or the Legislative or General Assemblies of the provinces respectively. This clause was omitted in the revised instructions of L878 in deference to the contention of the Dominion that the Lieutenant-Governor of the provinces other than those ex- pressly referred to in the Union Act had implied powers for the above purposes. “Any powers,” said Mr Blake, the Dominion Minister of mim Justice, “ which may be thought necessary should have been of the conferred upon the Lieutenant-Governor by the British North Dominion America Act, and it appears to me they must be taken to be expressly or impliedly so conferred. The provision giving these powers to the Lieutenant-Governor by the Governor- General’s Commission appears somewhat objectionable, and it might perhaps be advisable to leave these matters to be dealt with by those officers under the B. N. A. Act, the 82nd section of which in terms confers on the Lieutenant-Governor of the new provinces of Ontario and Quebec the power in the Queen’s name to summon the local bodies, a power which no doubt was assumed to be continued to the Governors of the other provinces.” The provincial legislatures are summoned by the Lieu- Form of tenant-Governor, in some provinces, as for instance in British iii Columbia in his own name, and in other provinces in the name of the Queen. The following form is the one in use in Quebec: Canada Province of Quebec LS. Victoria by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, &c. &e. To our beloved and faithful the Legislature Councillors of the Province of Quebec and the Members elected to serve in 1 Can. Sess. Paper, 1877, No. 13, p. 7. L. BR. Masson
