No, recalls can only remove members of the Legislative Assembly. The Recall and Initiative Act (British Columbia) does not provide for the removal of a Lieutenant Governor, or of holders of ministerial roles (such as the Solicitor General). However, as ministers are expected to be members of the elected Legislative Assembly, a minister who is subsequently defeated in a by-election would probably be removed by the Lieutenant Governor on the advice of the premier.

Members of the Legislative Assembly in Canada are referred to as Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in provinces and Territories, except for Ontario and Quebec where they are known as Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) and Members of the National Assembly (MNAs) respectively.
Members of the Legislative AssemblyAn M.L.A. (member of the Legislative Assembly) is a member of the elected Lower House of any of the Canadian provinces. Members of the Legislative Assembly are elected using the single-member plurality system. The Legislative Assembly can propose any bill (including, as the elected House, money bills). The support of a majority of members of the Legislative Assembly is needed by the provincial Government; when a majority of members vote against a key part of the Government's agenda, the expectation is that the Government must either request an election or resign.Legislative CouncillorsAn M.L.C. (member of the Legislative Council) is a term that was rarely used on the Canadian provincial stage, with the term Legislative Councillors being preferred. Legislative Councillors were appointed to the provincial Upper House, the Legislative Council, by the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council. Legislative Councillors had the same powers as members of the Legislative Assembly, except that (a) Legislative Councillors could not propose money bills, and (b) the Government would not need the support of the Legislative Council to govern.While some provinces have had at one time both an Upper House and a Lower House, currently all provinces are unicameral (that is, they are composed solely of the Lieutenant Governor and one House, the Legislative Assembly).
