hmm I would have though that Provincial cabinets would be covered as well. I would guess that should it move them a Province would fight that as well. Is not the Prime Minister only the first amongst equals?
It appears only for matters covered by provincial statute, not federal criminal legislation. Re: PM as first amongst equals - practically he is still head of the representation of all provinces under the federal system of representation, so not a peer of the premiers.

This bit I’m confident on: the law that protects federal cabinet confidence from court disclosure is the Canada Evidence Act, specifically section 39.

Yet another option looks like it'll be out there soon.The province will soon be expanding the prescribing powers of Registered Nurses who complete additional training, allowing them to provide Ontarians with birth control, travel medications, and vaccinations such as the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced that starting in January 2024, Registered Nurses (RNs) who complete the training programs will be able to prescribe medications for contraception, immunizations, smoking cessation, and topical wound care in a variety of settings, including long-term care homes and retirement homes ...
The Ontario government will soon introduce legislation that, if passed, would make it the first province in Canada to help even more internationally-trained immigrants work in the fields they’ve studied in by banning the use of Canadian work experience as a requirement in job postings or application forms. This change would help more qualified candidates progress in the interview process and follows historic legislation to prohibit regulated professions from requiring discriminatory Canadian work experience requirements in licensing for more than 30 occupations, which comes into effect December 2023.
“For far too long, too many people arriving in Canada have been funnelled toward dead-end jobs they’re overqualified for. We need to ensure these people can land well-paying and rewarding careers that help tackle the labour shortage,” said David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. “When newcomers to Ontario get a meaningful chance to contribute, everyone wins.” ...
