I would like to propose an amendment to the motion, either the original or the split as it turns out.
1007. Age, Citizenship, and Residency for Canadian Championship:
Each contestant in a Canadian Youth Championship must fulfill the age requirements specified by FIDE for the World Youth Championship to which the winner of the Canadian event will qualify. Each player shall be either (i) a Canadian citizen or (ii) a Permanent Resident.
Additionally, the player must be registered or in the process of registering as a Canadian with FIDE, and must be eligible to represent Canada under FIDE rules at the World Youth Chess Championship for which this event is a qualifier.
1057. Age, Citizenship, and Residency for Canadian Championship:
Each contestant in a Canadian Junior Championship must fulfill the age requirements specified by FIDE for the World Junior Championship to which the winner of the Canadian event will qualify. Each player shall be either (i) a Canadian citizen or (ii) a Permanent Resident.
Additionally, the player must be registered or in the process of registering as a Canadian with FIDE, and must be eligible to represent Canada under FIDE rules at the World Junior Championship for which this event is a qualifier.
I removed the sections about non-Citizens/Permanent Residents being allowed to compete and added the part about needing to be eligible for the WYCC. Also note that for someone with no FIDE registration, signing up for the CYCC would constitute being in the process of registering as a Canadian with FIDE, so this won't exclude new players.
Seconder anyone?
