In Quebec, the act is in the process of being amended. I think it would be simpler to include these points in the current act rather than waiting for the amendments to be made.
In section 298, corporations and restructuring are mentioned, but applications for continuance are also referred to. In this regard, it states that body corporates have three years to apply for a certificate of continuance. This means that companies have three years to ask for it. According to this wording, if a company wants to immediately go to the federal jurisdictional level, it submits its request, but if it is under provincial jurisdiction and wants to change that because things are developing in other provinces, it may use that argument alone rather than asking for a continuance under section 298.
It seems it would be simpler to proceed in that way rather than having to go through all sorts of detours to get to the same point.
