The duties of the Deputy Prime Minister are to act on behalf of the Prime Minister in his or her absence overseas or on leave. The Deputy Prime Minister has always been a member of the Cabinet and has always held at least one substantive portfolio. (It would be technically possible for a minister to hold only the portfolio of Deputy Prime Minister, but this has never happened.)
If the Prime Minister were to die, become incapacitated or resign, the Governor- General would normally appoint the Deputy Prime Minister as Prime Minister. If the governing or majority party had not yet elected a new leader, that appointment would be on an interim basis. Should a different leader emerge, that person would then be appointed Prime Minister.

Are all the major decisions in Canada decided by the prime minister?
No. Many decisions are made by Cabinet and Paliament, and the various Ministers individually. The Prime Minister, as the political leader, has substantial control over these, especially the Cabinet Ministers, since he selects them and can reassign or dismiss them. However, he doesn't have absolute discretion. He will certainly be heavily involved in the more important decisions.
Some of the most important decisions are made by the Governor General. These aren't policy decisions, but instead, decisions about who gets to form Government when the political situation becomes unstable. However, such circumstances are rare. The Speaker of the House often has to rule on procedural issues in the House of Commons, which can be fairly significant.
