Manitoba Right-to-Repair: Manitoba became the second province with right-to-repair legislation. Bill 15, a government bill introduced March 2026 and assented to in June 2026, adds a new part to the Consumer Protection Act requiring suppliers to provide the means of repair -- diagnostics, software, manuals, parts, and tools -- for designated goods at reasonable cost and within a reasonable time. It's not in force yet: the rules take effect by proclamation as regulations roll out sector by sector, starting with appliances, then automotive, then agricultural equipment.
