The Employment law test for whether or not the matter is provincially regulated, or federally regulated is fact-specific and legally based. For instance, if a transportation company starts regularly running across provincial boundaries it will become federally regulated. In practice, all matters which are not federally regulated are, by default, provincially regulated.
