Dans une fédération, le partage des pouvoirs entre les deux ordres de gouvernement ne peut être tout à fait précis. Le terme « domaine de compétence incertaine » recouvre donc un domaine de compétence législative dont la délimitation est si imprécise que l'on ne peut dire avec certitude s'il est de compétence fédérale ou provinciale. 1, record 25, French, - domaine%20de%20comp%C3%A9tence%20incertaine
