Rebel Gross Weight

In Canada, I am applying for a gross weight on wheels of 1,800 pounds.
This weight would reduce the ultimate load factors from + 5.7 and - 3.8,
to + 5.2 and - 3.5 respectively. MAM also states that the maneuvering load
factor at 1,650 is + 3.8. My understanding is that + 3.8 is a minimum
permissible value for utility aircraft. If I increase the gross weight to
1,800, I now have a maneuvering load factor of only + 3.5. Do I now have a
problem? What do I show in the operating manual?
