A situation in which it could be conceivable that Parliament has too much
power, even though they are elected:

Suppose the premiers meeting in Niagara-On-The-Lake come to a definitive
consensus about what should be done about health care. Suppose this
consensus entails more federal involvement. Suppose they take this to Paul
Martin in September and he agrees. Then suppose it can't pass through the
House because 50% of federal MPs are from parties that want less federal
involvement in provincial issues.
