The orifice for the natural gas is bigger.

Natural gas is usually supplied at slightly less pressure and it have fewer BTU's per volume of gas.

They exist I just don't know if they exist in Ontario.

I don't know what issues you'd have with just drilling the orifice bigger. I've gone the other way, put a little brass plug in and redrill it. I got the little numbered drills and size chart from a gas man 30 years ago. I just don't know if you'd flip the codes and insurance people out.
I see where there are conversion kits for certain grill, so maybe not.
