After enforcing the intentional grounding penalty at B's 15 yardline, when does the clock start?

The OP calls for it to be the next-to-last down, which in Canadian ball, is second down. I will adjust the situation in that regard.
CANADIAN RULING:
The passer spiking the ball doesn't meet either of the deliberate grounding criterion, so the play results in an incomplete pass. Result: 3D/5 @ B-10. Since we're inside the 3-minute warning, clock on the snap.
