Thank you, Mr. Chair, and to all of our witnesses today.
Mr. Hanvey, about 10 years ago I worked with the AIA here, your sister organization—I still do work with them—on original right-to-repair legislation focusing on the automotive aftermarket. Since that time, subsequent bills have come forth, and I have another one. It passed first reading in the House of Commons. We got it to committee. It was going to go for a final vote, but then the automakers, at that time the OEMs, decided they could live with the voluntary agreement. The aftermarket association said, fine, we'll try that first. We knew there was a major hole with regard to the digitalization of vehicles coming up, but it was voluntary. Tesla has opted out now, and there have been ups and downs.
I'm curious to know what's happening in the United States right now and what your thoughts are about mandatory versus voluntary. I proposed new legislation to make it mandatory, because we just can't keep fooling around like this.
