I was curious if the GG has Sovereign Immunity like the Queen does when I heard that Payette may have assaulted someone. I couldn't find an answer though. The closest I came was that Lt. Govs can't claim sovereign privilege. A Quebec Lt. Gov tried and was refused by the courts.
It looks like the Queen is responsible for civil penalties but not criminal ones, unless I'm misreading it.
