Thank you for the question.
I took this as two main questions. I think the technology is there or very close to being there for ADS-B out transponder technology, and I believe it fits within Canadian aviation and the other aircraft flying. I guess the first and foremost use would be in controlled airspace—that is, busy airspace—with the aircraft that have anti-collision detection avoidance equipment that picks up the transponder.
The manufacturing itself I don't know much about, but I'm sure that as time goes on, the skills that are out there that have put this technology to where it is today are probably quite capable of expanding, in the manufacturing stage, some form of transponder requirement as well as the registration component.
