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 only if the public is informed of when & where they will be used, & asking citizens if they'd like to be blurred out of the footage/photos.
@92S3P5T3yrs3Y
Yes, but have the program put under a strict ruleset as to not impede on privacy.
@8Z3QB6T3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should take the same amount of training and licensing as being a pilot for a commercial airline.
@8VDFSJQ4yrs4Y
Yes but there should be strict guidelines and should be an extensive application process to obtain a drone use license
@8V6RLGM4yrs4Y
yes, with heavy regulation at the beginning, and after the first few years of action, amend.
@8TZ65QC4yrs4Y
This is an extremely complicated question for a yes/no answer. I think laws and permits will have to evolve over time.
@8SFZ8RP4yrs4Y
Yes, only if they are safe and their production is not harmful to the environment.
@8SFQTT44yrs4Y
Yes, only if the drones are safe and their production has no negative impact on the environment.
@8CL9ZVF5yrs5Y
As long as it’s for commercial purposes only
@98TLB6M2yrs2Y
Yes, but only as long as the residents of that area are notified.
@98FDDWQ2yrs2Y
Depending on what the regulations would be and what the implications would be for avian species. I would probably be more likely to say no
@956MNKP3yrs3Y
yes, i think that the drones would be a good idea but there would need to be a regulation on people shooting or taking the drones out of the sky and taking packages
@8VK39WZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only under strict regulations
@8VFHPR84yrs4Y
No, commercial uses can still benefit government surveillance by using drones
@2D34J3V4yrs4Y
Yes, but with specific regulations regarding privacy, the permissable uses of collected information, and harassment laws.
