"The deputy prime minister is responsible for running the country when the prime minister is out of the country, and in case of the death or resignation of the prime minister the deputy prime minister takes over the position." saying it wasn't true.
What is the procedure for replacement upon the death of a prime minister? Rmhermen 20:51, Feb 9, 2004 (UTC)
:The Governor General takes over the duties of the Prime Minister, but the GG will act quickly to appoint a new PM.  According to convention, the GG appoints whoever she thinks will best "enjoy the confidence of the House", that is, can get bills through the House of Commons. She will consult with the surviving cabinet ministers before making her choice, but the final decision is up to her. The deputy PM will probably be a leading candidate, but not the only one.--Indefatigable 07:53, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Replacement of PM

message: Since the Deputy Prime Minister is a cabinet member, does she get a deputy minister?  I've never heard of a Deputy Minister of the Deputy Prime Minister, but it seems like there would be one.  --Arctic Gnome 20:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This page, as with others relating to Canadian federal government ministers, fails to use capital letters when referring to the title and office in question. To clarify, 'deputy prime minister of Canada (dpm)' instead of 'Deputy Prime Minister of Canada (DPM) The websites for the Government of Canada and the Office of the Prime Minister themselves use capitalisation; and, so do the media in Canada and internationally.
I therefore ask why has the trend occurred. I have corrected said issue before (then only on the Prime Minister's page) on only for it to be reversed. Please advise.

thread_title:  Use of capital letters in the titles of Canadian federal government ministers 

message: The article's title should be at Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. GoodDay (talk) 02:55, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: could you please clarify? It appears MOS:JOBTITLES would apply in this case re: "When a formal title for a specific entity (or conventional translation thereof) is addressed as a title or position in and of itself, is not plural, is not preceded by a modifier (including a definite or indefinite article), and is not a reworded description". Seems that this is the standard across the rest of the site. Thanks, WildComet (talk) 19:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Only capitalized if it's used as a title before a person's name. I believe you've indicated the same above. There are a lot of vocal holdouts on the "must capitalize everything" front but you'll see we're gradually moving away from capitalizing every single office ever just because it's sometimes used as a title. Article names should nearly always be in sentence case unless they are the name of a work. In this particular case, the deputy pm is not even an official thing, just a sometimes convention, so the notion it's a proper noun or name of some sort is even weaker. —Joeyconnick (talk) 08:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't believe so, it is the formal title of the entity in question (deputy PM), is a title/position in and of itself, not plural, not preceded by a modifier and is not a reworded description; checks all the boxes to be capitalized in MOS:JOBTITLES.
