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.

@9J2T8PB1yr1Y
As long as they are not trespassing on any other land, or doing nothing illegal, I think drones are good for commercials
@9FPKYTH2yrs2Y
Yes, if they work with no faults
@93R6SB93yrs3Y
yes and no for privacy reasons
@93QZV7Z3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they drones are not being invasive to peoples privacy.
Yes, But if it's used in a neighbourhood to let them know in advance
@92K33BD3yrs3Y
yes, given privacy is prioritized
@8WL54V54yrs4Y
why? there's no use for that I think
Depends on how close the drone is and how much privacy is being invaded for the people/ buildings in it
@8VV3BLT4yrs4Y
Yes, but at a cost and with a licence. Drones have the potential for intrusion into the private realm and this will hopefully be preventative
@8VJYQ2L4yrs4Y
Yes, but in restricted areas
@8VG9JQRNew Democratic4yrs4Y
As long as they're not watching people with them.
@8TWZJFZ4yrs4Y
Maybe, with very strict guidelines and procedures for use with total transparency
@8TKMP3W4yrs4Y
@8TJGNKC4yrs4Y
yes with stronger restrictions
Yes, as long as strict regulations are created
@8TJ5VQW4yrs4Y
Not until there are regulations on where they fly, camera usage, saftey issues have been dealt with and what if any criminal offenses would be involved if someone did something to cause one to crash
@8TJ5P73New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as there are regulations and that is is monitored.
@8TJ42VR4yrs4Y
@8THXLDR4yrs4Y
Only if environmentally friendly, or in an organized manner.
No unless they use the drones on their own property
@8Q9J99D4yrs4Y
As long as no one's privacy is being invaded.
@8PJY6KH4yrs4Y
Yes, but only in when strict regulations are in place and are enforced and only where safety is not at risk.
@8HZ32NMNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Yes, however which cases these drones can be used in has to be public information and the regulations should be made with experts in fields such as security.
@9CNMZNC2yrs2Y
Yes but with very strict policies
@9CMRV3GNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, provided they are used responsibly and legally.
@9CMFTM62yrs2Y
Yes, but should always have an yes on the activities done.
@9CM3TSJ2yrs2Y
It depends on the "commercial purpose"
@9CLV7FQ2yrs2Y
No, because I believe people need privacy.
@99B2F282yrs2Y
depends on the situation and where
@98PL89V2yrs2Y
Not entirely, using drones can invade private properties and gather personal information.
@98PL3W42yrs2Y
This isn't a huge deal and may be a good way of marketing but it must not violate anyone's rights.
@98752TC2yrs2Y
As long as there is proof that it is safe, it is being used in a safe environment, and it is being operated by professionals it should be okay.
@97SK8WM2yrs2Y
Only if necessary, and have rules and regulations set for usage of drones
Yes, but the drones cannot invade privacy
@8FMSYXB5yrs5Y
Yes, but drones used for commercial purposes should require a license and should be used responsibly without invading anyone's privacy
@3F9WGB44yrs4Y
Only with a registered flight plan, accountability to fly only where approved or else lose the privilege to do so.
