What they're lobbying on (6)
  • Bill C-267, An Act to establish a national framework to promote the durability of electronic products and essential household appliances: Seek changes at committee to bring motor vehicles and agricultural equipment within the scope of the bill, so that owners and the independent repairers they choose can access the parts, tools, repair information, diagnostic software and data needed for maintenance and repair on terms no less favourable than those available to manufacturer-authorized repairers.
  • Privacy: Ensure forthcoming privacy legislation, regulations or guidance provides a level playing field for businesses in the auto-aftermarket and prioritizes consumer control over vehicle data.
  • Innovation and Skills Plan, Apprenticeship: Upskilling of current and future aftermarket industry workforce as industry transitions from predominantly mechanical to more technical trade.
  • Bill C-244, An Act to amend the Copyright Act (diagnosis, maintenance and repair): Support PMB C-244 which would allow for the sharing of information from consumer goods for the purposes of diagnostics, maintenance and repair.
  • Green Vehicles: Inform decision-makers about the importance of training and data access so that green and electric vehicles can be properly serviced by Canada's auto aftermarket.
  • Canadian Automotive Service Information Standard (CASIS): The intent and objective of the agreement is to “maintain an open, fair and competitive automotive manufacturing, import, distribution, service and repair industry in Canada for the benefit of all stakeholders and consumers”.
