Canadian amateur radio stations may provide communications on behalf of third parties:
- A only in cases of emergencies or disaster relief
- B with any other amateur radio station
- C only with countries that have third-party traffic agreements with Canada
- D on frequencies assigned to the Canadian Forces Affiliate Radio Service (CFARS)
Correct answer: B — with any other amateur radio station. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
