Mr. Speaker, when someone's refrigerator breaks down, they call a technician. If he says that the part is no longer available, that the documentation is missing or was never available, or that the cost of the repair exceeds the price of a new appliance, that person is forced to spend $500, $1,000, or even more, to replace something that could have been, and should have been, repaired.
This is not bad luck. It is a business model. It is called “planned obsolescence”.
Devices are deliberately designed not to last, not to be repairable and to force replacement. This model costs Canadian families dearly every year.
