What must a salesperson ensure when sending commercial electronic messages (CEM) under CASL requirements?

  1. Written or implied consent must be received beforehand

  2. Consent must be obtained through an opt-out mechanism

  3. Salespersons do not need to inform the purpose of sending the CEM

  4. Real estate CEMS are exempt from including an unsubscribe function

  5. Recipients can only consent through written forms

The correct answer is: Written or implied consent must be received beforehand

Under CASL (Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation) requirements, when sending commercial electronic messages (CEM), a salesperson must ensure that written or implied consent has been received beforehand. This is crucial to comply with the legislation, which aims to reduce spam and promote more responsible electronic communications. Written or implied consent shows that recipients have agreed to receive the messages, thereby respecting their privacy and preferences. Consent obtained through an opt-out mechanism (option B) is not as strong or explicit as obtaining consent beforehand. Options C, D, and E are incorrect because salespersons are required to inform recipients of the purpose of sending the CEM, real estate CEMs are not exempt from including an unsubscribe function, and recipients can consent through various means, not just written forms.
