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.

Yes. But take it slow and easy. I think the argument that drone usefulness to commercial interest is evident, and regulating it would seem the sensible thing to do. This technology would have to be worked into the existing flight management systems currently employed, strict safety and failsafe requirements would also have to be reviewed and implemented first. National and civilian security must always remain a priority when considering these kinds of technological advancements.
@9GZYG4J1yr1Y
Yes, we should allow trial for commercial purposes drones, because if it function well it could reduce traffic jam and also reduce oil demand which would reduce oil price.
