In the event that the Canadian Prime Minister dies while in office who is his immediate replacement?

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.
