governor general

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is refusing to say what he knew — and when he knew it — about a dismissed, non-felony charge against his choice for Governor General.

Former astronaut Julie Payette will be Canada’s next Governor General, becoming the fourth female to be the monarch’s representative in Canada when she is sworn in later this year.

The federal government is set to reveal Canada's next governor general on Thursday, July 13, 2017, with an announcement outside the doors of the Senate.
