Governor General's Warrant
- Governor General's Warrant
A "Governor General's Warrant" is a little-used principle of Canadian law that facilitates the Canadian government to continue operating when the government is not sitting and has not tabled a budget before funds are urgently needed for normal operations.
"Section 30 of the Financial Administration Act... states:
Where a payment is urgently required for the public good when Parliament is not in session and there is no other appropriation pursuant to which the payment may be made, the Governor in Council, on the report of the President of the Treasury Board that there is no appropriation for the payment and the report of the appropriate Minister that the payment is urgently required for the public good, may, by order, direct the preparation of a special warrant to be signed by the Governor General authorizing the payment to be made out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund."
