I had the Constitution of a chess League approved by Industry Canada in less then 48 hours and my constitution is not a cut and paste of information found on Industry Canada site. Complying with the Law while adding domain specific content to a Constitution is quite easy. I still need to do the Bylaws, but those are only filed with IC, they do not require approval. Founding something new is easier because I did not have to get the approval of 60 other persons, but writing a customized compliant constitution is not hard. The CFC could easily have done it if a first draft copy a new improved Constitution has been submitted to the Governor one month after the first rejection.
