In Canada a disqualification means you are disqualified for at least six months until you can attend a hearing to appeal the disqualification. The American disqualification equates to being excused in the Canadian rings. However, in Canada only the judge can call for the scales whereas in the US and exhibitor can call for the scales. I believe the standard that applies to the rest of the world on weight would be a good thing for Canada.

I really don't think that this is much of an issue. After all it is not a problem in most other counties. Just in Canada and the States.
