Thank you, MP Masse. I agree with you. I think there is a real potential to open up a lot of different industries with proper “right to repair” legislation.
Thank you for the work you've done in the past. I, along with MP Longfield, chair the auto caucus on the Liberal side. We've talked a lot about the auto industry in relation to right to repair.
You're absolutely correct. It was a voluntary agreement. It has worked well. It's not perfect. There are a number of holes in it and it definitely needs to be updated. We're seeing companies such as Tesla, of course, not following that voluntary agreement. A lot of companies, such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, don't follow that agreement.
We can use the auto industry, though, for those who are concerned, in terms of stakeholders who might be harmed by something like this. It clearly has not harmed the auto industry. What it has done is spin off a whole bunch of other options, whether it's independent mechanics, parts providers or service providers. This could be what you would see in a right to repair for digital devices. I think you would absolutely see that space starting to fill and making sure that the people have those choices and options.
