No. Again, I haven't spoken directly to the individual provinces about this.
This is not about creating a bill that the provinces will have to adhere to. This is about removing a roadblock that the provinces currently have that doesn't allow them to move forward, if they so choose—they don't have to but if they so choose—on legislation or regulations around consumer protection or around the right to repair. Because the technological protection measures exist within the Copyright Act, anything that the provinces do until that is changed would run up against those legal challenges. All this bill is trying to do is remove that barrier in order for the provinces to be able to make those choices.
Now [Technical difficulty—Editor] what choices they do make. I know that there was a private member's bill or a piece of legislation that was introduced by a former Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario that failed. One of the reasons it failed or was challenged was that the technological protection measures within copyright still existed.
My motivation and my hope is that the provinces see this as an opportunity to be able to move forward, to be able to recognize benefits to their citizens by creating that regulation or legislation around the right to repair.
