[edit] Notes
1 The office was briefly vacant in 1996 when Copps, after being challenged on her 1993 campaign promise to resign if the government did not repeal the GST, resigned from Parliament and recontested her seat in a byelection. Chrétien did not name a replacement during Copps' absence from Parliament. After winning the byelection and returning to Parliament, Copps was reappointed to the position.
2 Harper did not formally name a deputy prime minister, although in practice Lawrence Cannon was named second below Harper in the order of precedence.
