You can't quite do a direct translation as we traditionally source our executive branch from our MPs (and technically senate), while the states sources theirs from the general population. I would like our governing party to have a decent pool of talent to draw from to fill our ministerial portfolios. If we went by the US ratio Canada would have about 44 MPs which would mean that pretty much every MP would be a Cabinet Minister.
