Functionally Nothing. Legally . . . ? Well, an AR is R-Rated no matter how you build it, and you can use 10rnd mags, even if it was NR.
So again . . . nothing. Unless it's one of those 9mm specific lowers with 9mm magwells.

In canada nothing,in the states it makes a difference,pistol marked lowers can have a shorter barrel and not be fall under their SBR rules and you can'put a stock on them,rifle marked ones you can't take the stock off and something to do with barrel length.
Blue-Line shows them having their BL-15 lowers in stock... $160

* pistol marked lowers have no effect on legal-issues concerning AR-15's in Canada.

Off topic, why do you want a strip lower in the safe?
Placeholder in the event of a prohibition? I'm sure there's plenty of people who would have loved to have a stripped AK receiver in the safe when the current Act came into power.
This might be the cheapest option https://www.freedomventures.ca/products/sti-stripped-lower or the upper and lower https://www.freedomventures.ca/products/sti-matched-upperlower
Edit: I see they're apparently sold out of the lowers until mid February 2013, you're not the only person with the idea.

The earliest a ban can happen is in 2014...What is the point of having a gun that you can not shot anyways? (Ak47)
What's the point in having an original piece of art that you can't put on display without damaging it? What's the point of having a car you can't go drive without risking removing all it's value? What's the point of having a high end house with everything in white? Just because you can. Just because other people don't have it.
One of the most proven methods for making someone want something is to tell them they can't have it. Look at what the AWB did in the states, the values of the ARs down there increased during the ban, and overnight plummeted after it ended. Look at the value of fully automatic firearms, something like $9000 for the cheapest last I saw. Look at the buying frenzy that's happening at the mention of a new ban on scary guns. Buy something for $200 now, and potentially be able to sell it for $2000 in ten years, or keep it and be part of an exclusive club.

As far as I'm concerned, I would love to have an ak whether or not I was able to shoot it.

If it's just going to sit in the safe anyway, what difference does it make?

You do know that if a gun is being banned in Canada, the price of that gun will not raise?
The reason why the price in the states are rising for Ar15 and other assault rifle is because they think there will be the grandfathering clause.. they think so if they buy the firearm now, when the assault rifle ban come into effect, they can keep whatever they bought. And they can still shoot it and hunt with it etc.
For Canada, once the firearm is banned...it is a paper weight, totally different cases.
You can have all those items you named and still use it for its purpose, but not prohibited firearms.
Because there is no provision for additional grandfathered firearms/owners, and prohibition under current law will result in confiscation.
Additional grandfathering would require legislation, and there is no reason to believe that would happen.
So, buying a lower, just in case, makes no sense.
