	Encyclopedia: Governor General of Canada
		The Governor General of Canada (French: Gouverneur gÃ©nÃ©ral or Gouverneure gÃ©nÃ©rale) is the representative of the Canadian monarch.
		The Governor General acts as the Queen's viceregal representative in Canada and is often viewed as the de facto head of state.
		This arrangement continued after the establishment of the Dominion of Canada in 1867; the Governor General and Lieutenant Governors remained symbolic representatives of the Crown and of the British Government, while actual political power was vested in the Prime Minister of Canada and in the premiers, at the federal and provincial levels respectively.
