During our discussions with some in the auto industry, the concerns around safety definitely came as a top priority, and also the advancement of technology. This bill's importance stems from the context of the Copyright Act, which, at the time it was carried out, did not consider the computer programming that is related to a product. In these circumstances, we're not creating legislation just for us to use now but for future considerations as well.
In the automotive industry, there are many concerns. However, the voluntary agreement that is in place right now provides leeway for car owners to fix their vehicles in the local community repair shop instead of travelling far away.
Definitely there is a lot of concern in the industry, but I would say it's also important to consider all other industries across Canada.
