Under those conditions, it would be necessary to check the extent to which this legislation would allow a company incorporated under a provincial act from day one to move under the federal program. Some acts include regulations that I think would make that impossible as a procedure. You would have to close down a not-for-profit organization and start another one. If the intention from the outset is to operate at national level, the option is to incorporate federally, as in the bill presently under study. If the intention from day one is for the activities to be much more local, it is always possible to incorporate provincially.
