The answer to that has yet to be discussed and voted on by Canadians. For now it is an agreement of several Nations, some provincial, some cultural, to join in a Confederation, originally to hold off the Americans.
For some the Confederation has given them power and they want Canada to take as much power from the provinces and Nations as they can. For them Canada's Confederation it is a Federation without Nations, a decentralized Federation at most.
They will downplay anything that suggests a Confederation and emphasize anything that centralizes power in the the Federal System.
They are succeeding, in large part because most Canadians are now First or Second Generation and as such identify with Canada, not the part of the Confederation they moved to and live in. Few people in the world see Canada as a Nation of Nations, a Confederation. Most outside Canada think it is one Nation, that Canada owns "it's" resources, that Canada builds it's infrastructure and it's cities. Of course Canada, the federal government, does everything it can to promote those ideas.
If the Canadians, the First and Second generation majority accept such ideas, and for the most part they do, Canada's Confederation will become a Federation, with all significant power vested in the Federal system. It isn't there yet because there are still Canadians with their own history to tell but that is changing.
Our Confederation is ever changing, even if our documents do not.
