B

C
An amateur radio operator must follow Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's antenna siting procedures
D
An amateur radio operator may erect any size antenna structure without consulting neighbours or the local land-use authority
Answer Notes
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) expects all amateur radio operators to follow official antenna siting procedures, which usually involve consulting with the local land-use authority and addressing community concerns. The claim that an amateur can erect an antenna of any size without consulting neighbours or local authorities is entirely false.
While the federal government holds the ultimate authority over radiocommunications, local land-use authorities play a mandatory role in the consultation process for large structures. Amateurs must act responsibly, meaning they cannot simply bypass community consultation for significant antenna installations unless the structure meets very specific federal exclusion criteria.
