Transport Canada issues an update on their website.

“More and more people are flying drones and UAVs. Transport Canada regulates their use to keep the public and other airspace users safe. Before you take to the skies, make sure you understand the rules and follow them. Not doing so could put lives at risk and cost you up to $25,000 in fines and/or jail time”

This is the first step of many that are going to be changing the way Transport Canada deals with UAV’s and the people that fly them.
