In the first 4 months of 2015 Transport Canada issued 1,600 permits for commercial drones. In contrast, the U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration issued only 69. Over 110 companies in Canada now provide commercial drone services, which are regularly used by the movie and television industry, oil and gas companies, forestry companies and farmers.

It really depends on what kind of use it's used for.
@96B43NF3yrs3Y
Only for certain reasons
With permission and maybe a fee
@8ZM4Q6D3yrs3Y
To an extent, but people need job positions and drones could make people lose important jobs.
@8YXLXKC3yrs3Y
As long as it does not invade privacy, it is good.
Licences should be more regulated
@8VX2X274yrs4Y
Yes, but there should be boundaries in place
@8VTSW2H4yrs4Y
Depends on the nature of the use
@8VSDKLT4yrs4Y
What kind of commercial services?
@8VHSMJQ4yrs4Y
I’d have to know more about how they’d be used…. I am concerned about privacy as well as the impact on wildlife
@8VFBJXW4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if there are very clear regulations and policies in place
@8VCNMXY4yrs4Y
It depends on the degree of uses. Example: are they being used to spy on or destroy competitors in their fields.
Yes, but only the use of small, electric powered drones which would cause minimal collateral damage in a crash scenario.
@8SCVY6T4yrs4Y
Shouldn’t be up to the government, government powers should be drastically reduced. Death to Trudeau and his family
@8HKJPJ45yrs5Y
this should be allowed or disallowed as technology advances.
@8VVB8DW4yrs4Y
If they can do a back flip
@3FCHJ744yrs4Y
Yes, but every drone must be registered and its activity back logged incase of being used for criminal use.
