  3. Cthe controller will ensure that the remaining runway length is sufficient for take-off.
  4. Dnoise abatement procedures have been cancelled.

Per CAR 602.96, the pilot-in-command must ensure the operation is safe, so on an intersection take-off it is the pilot's responsibility to confirm the remaining runway length is adequate — the controller does not guarantee it.
