Have you read that link? I'm not familiar with all the intricacies, but from a cursory look these seem relevant:
>Certain areas of government action - some of which have become priorities over the years - are not specifically identified and assigned to one or both orders of governments in the Constitution Act, 1867. The courts have found that these areas come under various legislative powers, some federal, others provincial. Two such areas are the environment and health.
Federal:
>Regulation of Trade/Commerce
>Quarantine
This also doesn't seem to be set in stone as mentioned in "5. Court Interpretation of the Distribution of Legislative Powers." Neither does it seem complete, as e.g. it doesn't mention human rights as being either federal or provincial, while there is a lot of precedent of it being a federal matter.
EDIT: Also AFAIK most mandates are provincial bylaws that stem from the emergency act (which is a federal act)
