Who are all persons operating a vessel on Canadian waters required to render assistance to?

  1. Only those in the same type of vessel

  2. Only those with a distress signal

  3. All persons found at sea in danger of being lost

  4. Only those who ask for help

The correct answer is: All persons found at sea in danger of being lost

All persons operating a vessel on Canadian waters are required to render assistance to all persons found at sea in danger of being lost. This means that they must help anyone in distress, regardless of whether they are in the same type of vessel or if a distress signal is present. Help should also be given even if a person does not explicitly ask for it. It is a legal obligation to assist anyone in danger, and therefore the other options are incorrect.
