Abdelhaq Sari

Liberal on National Framework on the Durability of Electronic Products and Essential Home Appliances Act 2026-04-30

106 words · 6 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Arnold Viersen (Conservative)

“Madam Speaker, I am wondering about the lack of specificity in this bill. One of the things the member talked about is planned obsolescence, or programmed obsolescence. These things are very frustrating to consumers. I am wondering why he did not bring a bill that would have targeted that specifically through legislation rather than in this broad framework bill, which is like trying to boil the ocean.”
