Bill C-15 gives Transport Canada clearer authority around drone security risks, including authorizations for certain entities to interdict drones that present security threats.
Transport Canada has opened consultation on NPA 2026-005, a proposal covering Remote ID, community-based organizations and designated RPAS airspace. Commercial teams should treat 2026 as the planning year for fleet, documentation and airspace workflows.
