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 would have to depend on what someone Is using the drone for and to keep in mind if it is bothering anyone while it's in use.
@9FB6JX82yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it follows proper guidelines
Increase use but not replace other methods
@95GVQ4H3yrs3Y
In a way, they should but only if they really have to.

as long as they don't invade other's privacy
@93RS9QZ3yrs3Y
Depends On how the government plans on using it.
@92RGJ4Z3yrs3Y
Yes, but not camera equipped drones without license
Maybe to certain things, but not all. So many people will use their jobs if so.
@8YZRFFL3yrs3Y
Only in some circumstances to allow for pedestrian drone use for photographers.

@8XBCQ4M3yrs3Y
It depend. The drones should be allowed if they don’t violate any law
@8WXSXJ73yrs3Y
yes, but all the workers should be provided with a different job, with the same pay rate of the job they lost from drone use.
I feel like it is an invasion of privacy
with laws that doesn't allow spying and etc
Ask the neighbourhood or area in advance
Maybe, depending on the exact intended use.
Yes as long as it isn't anything bad
As long as all people in pictures say that it is okay
@8VF7K7V4yrs4Y
Yes, and should be taxed
Yes depending on the industry it is being used in and it's purposes.
Only if regulated appropriately
@8TZ48GP4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as people don’t invade my privacy.
@8TYQ7V74yrs4Y
There are laws drones must abide by
The use of drones could assist companies in delivering more products to other companies without spending excessive amounts of money on shipping and distributing fees.
If it's not bothering anyone. Also It should at least be monitored
yes, with regulations limiting drones to certain times/places
@8T3S42M4yrs4Y
sure ! but I dont really care.
They should only be permitted on private property or with the allowance of the public.
@8SX4NB64yrs4Y
If used for photography then it should respect people's privacy. If used for Amazon then it should be equipped with no cameras
As long as it's not invading one's privacy. Not really sure about this question.
@shaelynj4yrs4Y
yes, but the reasons should be stated before hand
@8RJT6GC4yrs4Y
Depends on if they’re in safe flying locations that won’t cause harm to wildlife, or will keep them from causing injuries or privacy issues for humans.
Yes, but mostly for emergency services
@saides9908Green4yrs4Y
Yes, As long as it can be proven that it is not a spy drone, or having spying capabilities.
@8QDRPS8New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but under strict regulations to avoid any abuse of privacy or intelligence purposes.
Yes, with approval for limited purposes
yes definitely but they must be a specific distance from airports so that the drones don't intervene with the pilots and the aircraft to prevent Crashes
@8PJRLYY4yrs4Y
@8PD9WM74yrs4Y
Only if the use of the drone has been proven for commercial purposes
I don't really have a problem with the use of drones but this question doesn't affect me personally.
@Jatzuyu4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they are used for the purpose of what they were created for.
Yes But not for Surveillance
@9CLF8FB2yrs2Y
Only if they have a licence so they can be used responsibly but it would be hard to ensure proper use.
Only for certain purposes and materials
@9C9XD442yrs2Y
Yes but only on private property and with a height and noise limit to not disturb nearby inhabitants
@987HD822yrs2Y
Yes, as long as they are not invading anyone's privacy.
Possibly, depends to which extent.
@8VTKV7X4yrs4Y
No, if they fall it can be bad
It depends. If drones are used for things like delivering prescriptions to remote communities, then yes. If they are used for scouting forestry opportunities, perhaps not.
@97TYDMG2yrs2Y
yes, but not in highly populated areas, or in residential spaces, because that is a violation of residents privacy
