If a name is reserved because of an EXISTING (with CIRA) provincial
equivelent, the lock is never listed. Only the person with the domain.on.ca
can *ever* get domain.ca.
That being said, here's an account of the surrounding weirdness:
a) if owner of domain.ca actually wants to order domain.on.ca, they cannot
as there is no
CIRA system in place.
b) if the owner of domain.ca wants to grant permission to another
organization to use domain.on.ca, the *will* be able to, but currently they
can't because CIRA doesn't have the processes in place.
CIRA says that both of these will be possible soon.
