What is mandatory for a brokerage engaging in cold calling regarding Do Not Call Lists (DNCL)?

1. The DNCL rules apply to cold calling but not to random faxes.

2. A consumer must also register with the National DNCL to avoid brokerage calls.

3. The brokerage must be registered with the National DNCL operator.

4. Maintaining an internal DNCL is optional if already registered with the National DNCL.

The correct answer is: The brokerage must be registered with the National DNCL operator.

In this case, the correct answer is C. The reason being that for a brokerage engaging in cold calling in Ontario, it is mandatory that the brokerage must be registered with the National Do Not Call List (DNCL) operator. This registration is a legal requirement to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations regarding cold calling in Ontario. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: A. The statement that DNCL rules apply to cold calling but not to random faxes is inaccurate. Both cold calling and sending random faxes are subject to DNCL regulations. B. It is not the consumer's responsibility to register with the National DNCL to avoid brokerage calls. It is the brokerage's responsibility to be registered with the National DNCL operator to ensure compliance. D. Maintaining an internal DNCL is not optional even if the brokerage is already registered with the National DNCL. It is essential for brokerages to maintain their own internal DNCL in addition to being registered with the National DNCL to manage their own specific do-not-call lists effectively.
