An amateur radio station with a maximum power output of 2 watts:

In Canada, all amateur radio stations operating on amateur bands, regardless of how low their power output is, must be operated by or under the direct supervision of a certified amateur radio operator. There is no minimum power threshold that exempts a transmitter on amateur frequencies from regulatory control or certification requirements. Options suggesting exemptions for isolated areas, low power, or avoidance of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) regulations are incorrect. The rules governing the amateur service apply uniformly across the country and the entire amateur spectrum to prevent interference.
