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.

I think the use of drones can certainly be beneficial when applied to specific scenarios or areas of use such as fire fighting, police use, climate and natural research, however there is a line that needs to be drawn between commercial use for good and commercial use for nonsensical or non-beneficial applications.
@9FP299G2yrs2Y
Yes but have drone licences and security to defuse potential violent drones quickly.
@9FFVY962yrs2Y
@9BZDPMH2yrs2Y
Yes if safety and privacy standards are met
@96BHBSG3yrs3Y
What commercial purposes? What would this mean?
@969XGQ93yrs3Y
Yes as long as it's not interfering with the privacy of individuals.
@95VJ78LNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but make sure privacy is a main priority.
@95RNP2L3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if the airways and citizens are protected and the airspace is regulated
@93VSBW43yrs3Y
How does this pertain to the quiz
@928PMP53yrs3Y
@922WVXD3yrs3Y
No but also yes. This removes the fun of people who want to just play with a drone but at the same time removes the people who spy on people with a drone or revealing this info on the internet.
Yes, but has to be regulated.
How can this happen? Not enough information.
@8WPTFTTConservative3yrs3Y
Yes, but low resolution cameras should be used instead of high resolution.
Ask the neighbourhood or area in advance
@8VTZKT84yrs4Y
Yes, as long as privacy rights are respected.
@8VTXFXR4yrs4Y
Yes, but with regulations and certifications in place
Maybe, depending on the exact intended use.
@8VQCRZ94yrs4Y
@8VJC8BP4yrs4Y
something i feel is worth exploring
@8VCX4HF4yrs4Y
I’m unsure on the subject
@8V78QFM4yrs4Y
I’m undecided about this issue
@8TQ7NHC4yrs4Y
Need to investigate further.
@8TCMNVG4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as you get a license
@8SGDSH44yrs4Y
@8RPCD9S4yrs4Y
I believe that drone should be only used by the movie and television industry, for filming a movie or TV show scene. But in my honest opinion, oil and gas companies shouldn't be allowed to do so. If I have to be honest, I don't really see the true benefits of oil and gas companies' use of drone for commercial purposes. These companies would take lots of advantage over other beneficial remedies where they deserve more purpose.
@8PC5V9Z4yrs4Y
I think the government should allow the use of drones for commercial purposes to only those who have some sort of paperwork.
@8NZNS2F4yrs4Y
For Delivery and Non-Data Collecting Uses Only
@8JKLFFW4yrs4Y
as long as there are regulations
@9BRJSKXConservative2yrs2Y
Because farmers use them to look at there crops
@9863HW42yrs2Y
What does that even mean?
Yes, as long as it does not invade the privacy of civilians
@8VFLWYR4yrs4Y
Maybe, with regulations to prevent potential abuses.
@8SHHHXY4yrs4Y
As longs as they aren't filming people who don't want to be filmed, I guess it's okay.
@8S34K4P4yrs4Y
Yes, if their operation is tightly regulated and integrated into existing air traffic control schemes.
