Prime Minister Justin Trudeau consulted with Queen Elizabeth today about the process for selecting the next governor general of Canada, months after Julie Payette's resignation. (Jack Hill/Associated Press)Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc told MPs yesterday that Trudeau would be receiving a shortlist of candidates in the "next few days." "I think we've arrived at an interesting list," LeBlanc told the House of Commons' procedure and House affairs committee on Thursday.
