We'll leave that to your legislative counsel. I don't have legal advice on where the best place for that is, as long as it's there. Legislation, of course, would be better in that respect, but then there would have to be regulation made to follow that.
I'll make one other broader point, if I may. My colleagues inside the department won't like this very much, but I started writing about right to repair as a journalist in 1999. I've been around this issue for a long time, and one of the things that happened many years ago is that Industry Canada was slammed together out of a bunch of different departments. It is responsible for attracting and keeping automotive investment in this country. It's also responsible for the Copyright Act, as you would know. It's also responsible for consumer affairs.
My experience over the years has been that one of those things is considered more important than the others to the department. I understand that. Again, Mr. Masse isn't here to pipe up for the auto workers of Windsor, but I'm sure he would if he were here. I get that, but it is a fact that when there are competing interests inside the department, it is not always the consumer interest that triumphs at the end of the day. That may be understandable, but I think if there's a legislative mandate, it makes it harder for the department to not do anything. Indeed, my understanding is that there is a mechanism for an exemption under the Copyright Act regulations, but an exemption hasn't been granted once in 10 years.
