Which of the following statements related to unlicensed practice in Canada isfalse?

Canadian professional regulation generally restricts both (1) use of protected titles (e.g., “Professional Engineer,” “P.Eng.”) and (2) the practice of professional engineering/geoscience, subject to statutory exceptions. It is illegal to misrepresent oneself as licensed (A), and using titles or terms implying licensure is typically an offence (B). Regulators commonly investigate and pursue enforcement actions for unlicensed practice and misuse of title, supported by complaints processes and staff/resources (C). The false statement is D because “industrial exemptions,” where they exist, are typically narrow and do not authorize unlicensed individuals to offer professional servicesto the public. They generally relate to in-house engineering/geoscience work performed for an employer within an industrial setting, often with conditions and without holding out to the public. Public offering of professional services is precisely what licensure requirements are designed to regulate. Therefore, D is incorrect as stated.
