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.

Thank you for that link. It allowed me to get some things off my chest. lol

Something that doesn't get a lot of airtime with most of us "city-folk" is the fact that Farm Equipment manufactures enact the same policies for farmers whose combines and other equipment break down. This represents untold millions in lost productivity during harvest, and it's something that I hear a lot about because of my small city's proximity to a number of large farm operations.

I also talked a lot about releasing an appliances software kernel as FOSS once that appliance has reached the end of manufacturers support. But that would be an added bonus that I don't see ever coming to fruition sadly.
