What role does Saskatchewan’s lieutenant governor play in provincial government?

In Saskatchewan’s parliamentary system, the lieutenant governor serves as the representative of the sovereign. Appointed by the governor-general in council, the lieutenant governor acts as the counterpart to a constitutional monarch.12

Consequently, the role is largely symbolic, with the lieutenant governor's powers being defined by custom and judicial decision rather than active political governance. Real executive power in the province is exercised by the premier and the cabinet, who must maintain the support of a majority in the legislature to remain in office.12
