Which of the following is NOT correct? The Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry may suspend an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate:
- A where the holder has failed to comply with a request to pay fees or interest due
- B with no notice, or opportunity to make representations thereto
- C where the holder has contravened the Radiocommunication Act, its regulations, or the terms and conditions of the certificate
- D where the certificate was obtained through misrepresentation
Correct answer: B — with no notice, or opportunity to make representations thereto. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
The Minister cannot suspend your certificate without first giving you notice and a chance to explain your side, so the statement claiming they can act with no notice is the one that is not correct. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
