The other issue is that, as a Republic, you elect your head of state and he is seperate from the legislative branch of your government.
In Canada, the Head of State is really the Queen of England and is represented in Canada by the position of the Govenor General. This position is appointed by the PMO.
The Cabinet is the Executive Branch of our government. While they have power and authority above the average MP, they are still, when it comes down to it, just MPs. They are elected officials who must answer to their constiuents at the next election. They are also to subject to Question Period just as anyone in the Government including the Prime Minister.
