Thank you for the question.
When it comes to vehicle repair capacity, it's important to understand what tools are available within the government. The Competition Act isn't the only tool. Why has the government addressed this issue through a few measures?
First, there are some bills before Parliament right now. They cover the role that copyright plays in gaining access to what may be protected by copyright, such as vehicle software. This is one of the major aspects that will help ensure that consumers can have their vehicle repaired.
The changes in this bill are another tool. That may be the role of the Competition Act. It's not enough to have access to some of the most important vehicle repair tools, such as the marketplace. This is really a question for the Competition Act. These cases only cover situations where an operator attempts to stand in the way of a competitor, which would be breaking the law. It's important that a few aspects of right to repair be clarified, but that may fall more under other jurisdictions.
When we compare Canadian law with some of what you might have seen on the right to repair in certain provinces or potentially in certain states in particular, they have a much broader federal jurisdiction than we have here. We've attacked it through the mechanisms that are the primary levers we have.
It's really about copyright and that aspect of the Competition Act. All it does is regulate the marketplace and minimize competition in the market. That's why the revision was made about failure to provide information.
