Financial security advisor Juliette meets Pierre during a business meeting.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation: Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) governs unsolicited electronic communications, including emails for commercial purposes (Sections 6–8). Contrary to option A, CASL does not prohibit all email solicitation; it allows it withprior consent (express or implied) or under specific exemptions (e.g., existing business relationships). Juliette has no prior relationship with the prospect, and Pierre’s referral does not constitute implied consent under CASL, as consent must come from the recipient (Section 10). Option B is correct because Juliette must obtain the prospect’s consent before sending an unsolicited email, aligning with CASL’s opt-in requirement. Option C is incorrect, as Pierre has no legal obligation to facilitate the contact, though it might be courteous. Option D is impractical and not required by law. The Ethics and Professional Practice manual reinforces that advisors must respect privacy laws and obtain consent before initiating contact, making Juliette’s proposed action non-compliant without prior approval.
