I do not follow, or disagree....either way:
1. If the flouro tube is hardwired, you can simply install a device box (I'd go with 2 gang) and install your outlets there (assuming the cable is appropriately wired & grounded). Switched outlets are permitted in CSA code, so not sure what the issue is here.
2. What does "switch to LED" as the solution mean? LED units can be hardwired or plugged - just like flouro or incandescent tubes. Just depends on the fixture and LED has nothing to do with this. The suggested product is LED and a great option.
