| | Deputy Prime Minister of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada is an honorary position in the Canadian government, conferred at the discretion of the Prime Minister on a member of the Cabinet. |
 | | Only one Deputy Prime Minister, Jean Chrétien, has subsequently become Prime Minister, but he became Prime Minister almost a decade after his term as Deputy Prime Minister had ended. |
 | | In fact, one Deputy Prime Minister, Sheila Copps, attracted controversy in 1993 by simply asserting that she was "in charge" of government business while the Prime Minister, Jean Chrétien, was out of the country on a state visit. |
