The Deputies of the Governor-General are those people who are authorized by the Governor-General of Ibagli to perform functions on his or her behalf. The letters patent constituting the office of the Governor-General authorize him or her, with the consent of the King, to appoint as many people as he or she sees fit to exercise all or any of the powers of the office. Typically, all justices of the Supreme Court and former Speakers of the House of Commons are appointed as deputies of the Governor-General. Several deputies are generally appointed by commission to convene the first session of a new Parliament and direct the House of Commons to appoint a speaker. For this purpose, the group of deputies are referred to as a royal commission.
