What it does, in plain language
- Requires the Minister of Industry to develop a national framework on the durability and repairability of electronic products and essential home appliances sold in Canada, whether made here or imported.
- Requires that the framework be developed in consultation with provincial officials responsible for consumer protection and, where appropriate, consumer advocacy groups.
- Defines an essential home appliance as a device meant for regular household use, including for food preservation, cooking, washing, heating or communication.
- Calls for national standards covering minimum useful life and its labelling, maintenance and repair, availability of replacement parts and for how long, technical documentation, and software support.
- Requires the framework to spell out the duties owed to consumers by manufacturers, importers and distributors, and to inform Canadians about the new standards.
- Directs the Minister to discuss possible legislation with the provinces, including industry obligations, inspection mechanisms and penalties for non-compliance.
- Sets an 18-month deadline after the Act comes into force to produce a report setting out the framework, tabled in Parliament within its first 15 sitting days and posted on the Department of Industry website within 10 days of tabling.
- Requires a review of how well the framework works within five years of that first report, with a findings-and-recommendations report subject to the same tabling and publication rules.

Communications reported to the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying that name this bill. Lobbying is a lawful, publicly registered activity — this count is a fact, not a verdict. Only communications whose description names both the bill number and its title are counted, so the real total may be higher. Registry archive read on September 10, 2026; the Commissioner republishes it about monthly, and we refresh it by hand.
✋ What does “challenging” mean?
Clicking “Ask for an explanation” is a citizen request for the bill's sponsor to explain it in plain language — and for us to keep an eye on it together.
An account (email) is required — one request per person, no anonymous requests. 🔥 At 1,000 requests on the same bill, a public post is made, in the hope an MP agrees to sponsor a petition to the House.
It works on any bill, including one that has already received royal assent — that is often the one people want to understand.
Votes in the Commons
Every recorded vote — who voted what, and by what margin.
On the “who voted what” detail — the House of Commons publishes each member's name for every recorded (nominal) vote (Yea / Nay / paired). The by-member breakdown above (the "+" button on each row) comes directly from that official source (ourcommons.ca), not an estimate. The party shown next to each name is taken from the current House roster; people who have since left the House appear separately under "Former members".
How to read a vote
Recorded vote
Members vote one by one and each choice is entered in the public record. That is what lets us say exactly who voted what — no interpretation.
Passed is not law
A passed vote clears ONE stage. A bill must pass both chambers and then receive royal assent before it becomes law.
Paired is not absent
In the Commons, two members from opposing sides can agree not to vote: their voices cancel out. It is neither an absence nor an abstention.

Hi! My name is
Martin Archambault
I'm 45, and dossiercanada.ca is your first step into democracy!
If we want people to understand politics, it has to be brought down to their level.
When I first tried to take an interest in it, on top of not knowing the jargon, bills came as two lines… and fifty PDFs. Most people would simply walk away.
So I had an idea: use artificial intelligence first to read through all of it, then to put it in plain words. That's how DossierCanada was born.
Alongside the AI recap, I've given people a lexicon that explains the basics of political jargon. Plain-language law exists — think of this as its equivalent for politics!
