Canadian amateur radio operators may use their stations to transmit international communications on behalf of a third party:
- Aif the amateur radio station has received written authorization from Innovation, Science and Economic Development
- Bwhen it is permitted by the foreign country
- Cwhen prior remuneration has been received
- Dbecause Canada does not prohibit international communications on behalf of third parties
Correct answer: D — because Canada does not prohibit international communications on behalf of third parties. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Canada allows amateur radio operators to pass messages for others across borders because there is no rule stopping it, provided the foreign country involved also permits such traffic. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
