Thank you for your question, Mr. Barsalou‑Duval.
Absolutely. Quebec's Bill 29 was a step in the right direction. Has it solved all the problems? Absolutely not. Often, repairers bear the burden of taking these steps to gain access to information, and that's a challenge. I take every opportunity to say that this is not an issue of us against them; it is not the aftermarket against manufacturers. We need the manufacturers to continue to bring vehicles to market. We have nothing against technology. All we're asking for is much easier access to data so that the 492,000 jobs in the aftermarket sector can be preserved. There is nothing in what we're asking for or advocating that would jeopardize a single one of the 135,000 jobs on the manufacturers' side.
That said, again, Bill 29 is a great step in the right direction, but a car travels on roads and crosses borders. I think there is an opportunity today for the federal government to flesh all of this out a bit from a national perspective.
