Confederal= sovereignty regional government central government. Either decentralized (more powers possessed by the subnational governments) or centralized (more powers possessed national government) Symmetrical federalism occurs when all sub national governments have the same power. Asymmetrical federalism: occurs when some sub national governments have more power than others. The inter-state federalism refers to the regional-national relations that occur between governments. Intra-state federalism refers to the regional national relations that occur within one level of government: federalism represented within one level of government. If we had more intra-state federalism and representation of quebec perhaps we could be more effective. Canada has little intra-state federalism, almost all inter-state federalism. Provincial powers: direct taxation, hospitals and education, municipal institutions, local works, property and civil rights, local matters.
