Yes, thank you.
In Australia, there has been an agreement. The agreement is not really working very well and has been delayed for many, many years. There are no manufacturers that make vehicles that are based in Australia, and that has been quite an impediment, because they don't pay quite a lot of attention to the rules. Things have been quite delayed there.
The EU is still working on their law. They're still working through things on right to repair. They do not have a right-to-repair bill per se at this moment. I can't say that there's anything that they've done on digital locks that I can think of, but I can check on that and get back to you, Ms. Lapointe.
Also, in the United States, as my colleague Mr. Jack mentioned, there is a bill that's been passed in Massachusetts to allow for right to repair. There is a movement to try to pass a federal or a national right-to-repair piece of legislation so that there's not a patchwork of legislation across the states. However, it is being held up at great length by the manufacturers, and in fact the manufacturers spent close to $25 million on an advertising campaign to push back on right to repair in advance of the referendum that happened a couple of years ago now.
I think what we can say is that the right-to-repair bill that occurred here 15 years ago in Canada was voluntary, but it was the first of its kind in the world, and it was great to see that happen. It was great to see that everyone came together, but there wasn't an oversight mechanism. There wasn't anything. No one was in control. There wasn't someone you could come back to if it wasn't working to ask who was going to do something about it.
Today one side of the sector says it's not working, and then the automobile manufacturers say everything's working perfectly. It's not necessarily our place to sit here and tell you it is or isn't working, but clearly there is a gap and clearly there's a mechanism that should have been put in place but wasn't.
Thank you.
