Default Passport Renewal Question

So, I need to renew my passport as it expires next month and noticed on the Government Canada website that it says you cannot go through the renewal process if your last issued passport is "damaged". I travelled extensivly on my last passport and as a result it was a bit worn, but then I managed to put it through the washing machine (don't even ask how I did that) and now it's really rough looking and the pages are all stiff and slightly discolored (I have been able to completly dry it out).

The passport is still fully inact, all the stamps and visas are still visible, the photo/info page is still undamaged and easy to read and see. So the question is, will Passport Canada consider this a "damaged" passport? If so that is going to mean going through the intial application process again so I am really hoping for some good news here.
