August1991 Posted December 25, 2024 Report Posted December 25, 2024 The federal PM certainly does not have this power. How about a Lieutenant-Governor? Quote
Aristides Posted December 25, 2024 Report Posted December 25, 2024 (edited) Criminal code is federal, lieutenant governors are provincial. The GG might technically have the power but like some of their other powers, using them could cause a constitutional crisis. They might be able to do it on the advice of a PM.
