Which document assigns the authority to publish Standards for the Operation of Radio Stations in the Amateur Radio Service in Canada?

The Radiocommunication Act is the foundational piece of federal legislation that governs all use of the radio frequency spectrum in Canada. It directly grants the Minister the statutory authority to establish and publish technical standards, including those specific to the Amateur Radio Service. While amateur radio operators must follow the specific rules outlined in the 'Standards for the Operation of Radio Stations in the Amateur Radio Service,' the legal power to actually create and enforce that document stems entirely from the Act. It is easy to confuse the Act with the Radiocommunication Regulations, but both the regulations and the standards exist because the Radiocommunication Act authorized their creation. The Act is always the ultimate source of regulatory authority for Canadian telecommunications.
