My research indicates in Canada there are laws requiring pilot lights to be out and tank valves to be closed.

Wouldn't matter anyway as very few fridges have pilot lights anymore.
And I think we all know the part about valves having to be closed is at best, inaccurate. We know this because fleets of company and utility vehicles run on either CNG or propane. And that would be hard to do with the tank valves closed.
