About this event

Join us on June 17 at 12 p.m. for a free live webinar designed to help you navigate Quebec’s Right to Repair Regulation, which came into effect on October 5, 2025. This webinar, presented by Élisabeth Lambert and David Boudeweel in collaboration with Charles Tanguay, spokesperson, and Julie Couture, Head of Education at the Office de la protection du consommateur (OPC), will focus on the key elements of Quebec legislation surrounding the right to repair, the role of the OPC, and the merchant reporting process with respect to the automotive sector and access to data.

Why attend?

This session will help participants better understand:

  • the responsibilities of merchants and manufacturers in the automotive sector;
  • the impact of Right to Repair on the automotive industry;
  • eligible and ineligible situations with the OPC;
  • the merchant reporting process;
  • the resources, tools, and best practices available to repair shops and parts stores.

Participants will also leave with practical information and tools to better support their customers and the new regulatory realities of the automotive industry and access to data.
