I figured that right to repair is a topic many of us are interested in. The survey below by ISED Canada, a department of the Government of Canada, is open until September 26, 2024.

Canadians can provide their input at the following link: https://ised-isde.survey-sondage.ca/f/s/RTR

Well, a consultation is basically the bare minimum. We'll have to wait to see if this leads to even the possibility legislation.

Two bills of interest on this are C-244 and C-294, both amendments to the Copyright Act. The first is to allow circumvention of technological protection measures to diagnose, maintain or repair, and the second is to allow the same to make one computer software program or embedded device interoperable with another.

Both bills are 5 out of 6 steps done from becoming law but they need to before the next election, else it will be delayed even more.

Damn, that's pretty cool. C-244 would do a lot for me personally, so I hope that goes through.
