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.

@9MMRFFNConservative11mos11MO
Yes but limit where they can fly and make sure to have a job to monitor where the drones are headed and what they are doing
@9L3XFTVConservative1yr1Y
Yes, but with proper privacy laws and control as well as a registraion/permitting and licencing policy
@9K3F9YCConservative1yr1Y
Yes, however if someone uses drones with mail intention they will face consequences and will no longer be aloud to use drones.
@9J2T8PB1yr1Y
As long as they are not trespassing on any other land, or doing nothing illegal, I think drones are good for commercials
@9GLX9DDConservative1yr1Y
Yes, but with restrictions. Also depending on the legitimacy of the corporation and all regulations must be within federal laws.
@9G97MP91yr1Y
Check the commercial companies that want to use them and limit civilians using professional drone technology because we don’t what it’s for. (Security reasons)
@9FNQF78Conservative 2yrs2Y
To an extent, for things like advertising and such sure
@9FLN9N2Conservative2yrs2Y
Every situation is different, laws that protect civilian privacy need to be clear and enforcement needs to be used
@9FL3G8QConservative2yrs2Y
As long as it does not harm the environment or animals
@9F8R8V62yrs2Y
I don't have any opinion on this matter.
@9F75VCY2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it is proved to be safe in its proposed purposes
@98HT6QD2yrs2Y
Yes but with extreme oversite that is not controlled by military or policing agencies.
@96G92DC3yrs3Y
as long as they can be regulated for ONLY commercial use
@967TPXF3yrs3Y
yes if used for deliveries
@962JSFK3yrs3Y
@95KS27M3yrs3Y
Government should have no say in whether a person uses a drone for commercial purposes or notice
@93WL6VF3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as it is not infringing on the rights of private property owners.
@93W6XTB3yrs3Y
This can make privacy issues.
@93VG4TSConservative3yrs3Y
@92VCKC2Conservative3yrs3Y

@92PGBVT3yrs3Y
i don't think it makes a difference if they are used or not

Some drones can get in the way of local air traffic
@92J2HGKConservative3yrs3Y
Depends if it's Public or Private property
@8ZT622VConservative3yrs3Y
No, the drones could be unreliable or dangerous
@8Z3QB6T3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should take the same amount of training and licensing as being a pilot for a commercial airline.
@8YSXDJ5Conservative3yrs3Y
yes, but not on private property.
@8WYK5KY3yrs3Y
Only if the people agree to it.
@8WPTFTTConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, but low resolution cameras should be used instead of high resolution.
@8WK9Z45Conservative4yrs4Y
I think commercials should ask for permission in order to use the drones. Drones can invade others privacy, they can fall into trees, lakes and other bodies of water or other spots.
@8WK2JJQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but with strict regulations and license requirements.
@8WCZ7FV4yrs4Y
No because the drowns can sometimes see what you are doing without your permission and thats not ok to some people.

@8VRZVG94yrs4Y
no but have certain laws for the use of them
@8VQVTJZ4yrs4Y
Maybe because they could be bad for the environment ( getting stuck in trees and other)
@8VQDNBNConservative4yrs4Y
Yes With adequate regulations so as to not interfere with aircraft.
@8VQCSMYConservative4yrs4Y
What would they use it for?
@8VNJ8B84yrs4Y
Maybe, but make sure if this was to go on, the public knows about it, and I mean EVERYONE
@8VN6NN54yrs4Y
As long as drone use doesn’t compromise public privacy, the government should not be able to prevent drone usage.
@8VLLZZHConservative4yrs4Y
Yea but for research and agriculture. Not Uber eats
@8VL4L8TConservative4yrs4Y
Only if the government is watching their activity
@8V92GSWConservative4yrs4Y

@8SZX386Conservative4yrs4Y

@8SRDJJWConservative4yrs4Y
Only if its not a distraction to drivers or a danger to anyone as well, it mustn't intrude on anyone's privacy, lastly it shouldn't be used in a way that would be considered a nuisance
@8SD9V4JConservative4yrs4Y
Yes but restrict them in airspaces and unsafe areas
@8RJB7QRConservative4yrs4Y
yes, and don't make people need permits to get one you should be making them in your house
This in my opinions differs in each point of view. In the end i will say it depends on why the use of drones are used.
@8R8HRJMConservative4yrs4Y

@8SHHHXY4yrs4Y
As longs as they aren't filming people who don't want to be filmed, I guess it's okay.
@8LPXDF9Conservative4yrs4Y
Drones should require licenses to ensure they are used responsibly. They are a potential safety threat.
@8GJ55J3Conservative5yrs5Y
Only if the operator has a license and is part of a government approved company.
