As a pilot, I mostly fly VFR,

possible to get full preflight weather briefings on the internet or
local computer feed, so there will be little need for me, personally to
use ATC services.

Therein lies one potential problem, that people may be inclined to
attenpt VFR flight into IMC in order to save money. It's bad enough
now that people attempt VFR when they really shouldn't.


This kind of thing is one consideration in the determination of user fees
for NavCanada's fee structure. Visit their website and should be able
to locate at least one of the many documents that discuss the safety
aspects of having user fees (e.g., avoiding fees leading to unsafe actions).
