As a suggestion, nothing specifically says a Governor has to reside in the area they represent (Kai Gauer represented NWT for a few years while living in Ontario).
Rather than leaving the spot vacant, if the Exec feels that the runner-up in the Quebec elections would be a valuable contributor to have around, they could give them the Governor spot for Yukon.

I thought that was a good idea, too.
