C'est formidable.
In her memoirs, she says that she consulted widely and carefully on the question. If Mr. Martin were defeated soon after the House met and he requested dissolution, and there was an alternative government in waiting, should she grant him the dissolution or refuse his advice? In the memoirs, she concluded that within four months after Parliament met, she would refuse the request for dissolution. After that, she would accept it.
That's hypothetical, and another Governor General might think the same thing, but it gives you a very clear example of a Governor General facing a question wherein she might have to reject the advice of a Prime Minister. She consulted widely. In an informal sense, she received advice or opinions from the people she consulted with, but it wasn't advice in a constitutional sense.
We have to be very careful about the fact that the Speaker of the House of Commons would be giving views and opinions and not constitutional advice.
