The Alberta government wants to ensure consumers can fix their own vehicles, equipment and electronics by forcing manufacturers to supply repair manuals and parts.

The proposal is among a slew of changes in Bill 34, introduced on October 28 in the legislature.

The right-to-repair bid would require manufacturers to make repair manuals, diagnostic or repair tools and replacement parts available to owners and third-party services. 

The government said it would specify which products are included later, but listed vehicles, agricultural equipment, electronics and appliances in a news release.
