The right to repair is about independence and freedom from major manufacturers in order to have access to timely and inexpensive repairs\, as well as operability between products that suit the needs of consumers and farm businesses. It is also about affordability and sustainability – repairability and durability of products ensure that Canadians do not have to re-buy products that were intentionally designed to be replaced with newer products – also known as planned obsolescence.  \n\n\n\nFor farmers\, the right to repair is becoming increasingly important as the farm machinery sector continues to consolidate. \n\n\n\nFor small-scale farmers and direct-to-consumer sellers\, household appliances are important for the processing and storage of farm products.  \n\n\n\nThis right to repair consultation focuses on consumer appliances and electronics\, but it is also important for farmers to get a consistent and strong right to repair regime. Right to repair must extend to everything from cellphones and household appliances to tractors and seed drills.
