The Queen is the head of state. The Prime Minister is the head of government. The Queen is represented in Canada by the Governor General.
The Prime Minister is advised by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) which is the Prime Minister's personal secretariat, and the Privy Council Office (PCO) which is the apolitical secretariat to the federal Cabinet. Constitutionally, the federal Cabinet (a committee of the Queen's Privy Council) advises the Governor General. However, since the Governor General conventionally delegates active decision making to the Prime Minister, in effect the Cabinet advises the Prime Minister. Both the Queen and the Governor General have the conventional right to advise the Prime Minister, since it is their constitutional authority that the Prime Minister uses in order to govern.
I'd say its the vice-prime minister.** Edit:Canadians don't call it a "vice-prime minister". The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada is a position in the Canadian government.The position, which is not officially mandated by the Constitution of Canada, is actually a relatively weak one in cabinet. When the prime minster is out of the country it is accepted that no major decisions will be made. Without a portfolio or a ministry, the deputy prime minister is far less powerful than individuals such as the finance minister. Because of this the deputy prime minister is often given other cabinet responsibilities.Unlike the Vice-President of the United States, the Deputy Prime Minister does not assume the Prime Minister's office if he dies or resigns. The Governor General assumes the duties until he or she appoints a new Prime Minister in consultation with the Cabinet.Wrong, the Governor-General appoints the Finance Minister to temporarily cease power until a new Prime Minister is elected.
