the offices have their roots in the 16th and 17th century colonial governors of new france and british north america, though the present incarnations of the positions emerged with canadian confederation and the "british north america act" in 1867, which defined the viceregal offices as the "lieutenant governor of the province acting by and with the advice the executive council thereof." however, the posts still ultimately represented the government of canada (that is, the governor-general-in-council) until the ruling in 1882 of the lord watson of the judicial committee of the privy council in the case of maritime bank v. receiver-general of new brunswick, whereafter the lieutenant governors were recognized as the direct representatives of the monarch. the "constitution act, 1982" provides that any constitutional amendment that affects the office of the lieutenant governor requires the unanimous consent of each provincial legislative assembly as well as the house of commons and the senate.
