Okay.
Let's go back to your comments on Afghanistan. The federal government can decide to use its spending power unchecked and interfere in provincial jurisdictions, even if it can't legislate. You see your role as that of an observer. If you are asked how much something costs, if you are asked to assess the costs, you will do that, but you will never pass judgment on that power or on the federal government's powers per se.
Did I understand correctly how you see your mandate?
