has reviewed draft standard IEEE P802.11 D3.0 and reported the following:

As the document that you sent me on Spread spectrum is thick, I only looked at the table of contents and the relevent pages 172 on FHSS and pg 217 on DSSS. I did not find any text that contravenes my equipment standard of GL 36 (Guideline #36, doc.: IEEE P802.11-96/42) .

Briefly, the Canadian standard is the same as the FCC Part 15.247 except 
(i) 	the out of band emission into the restricted bands is more relaxed than FCC, there is no minimum bandwidth for DSSS, 
(ii) 	there is receiver spurious emission limit in Canada, and 
(iii) 	the equipment may be unlicensed or subject to licensing per the conditions of GL 36, a copy of which is being mailed to you.  

Canada has no standard or restrictions on the use of infrared (as spelled out in RSS-210 section 8.5) frequencies.

I trust this answers your questions. Do not hesitate to call if you need further assistance.
