There used to be a section of the Football Canada & CFL rule books titled "Fouls and Legal Gains" setting out the enforcement points (spots) for live ball fouls. (In other words, showing that advances of the ball made legally before a foul could be "kept" before enforcement.) They used the "3 and 1" or "all but one" principle just like USAn rules to enforce from PBD (you didn't have EOR) or POF; PBH was looking rather moribund as an enforcement spot. Now, going by what you laid out, it looks like a big gain (or loss) that doesn't result in a 1st down can be completely wiped out by a subsequent foul by either team if the penalty is accepted.
