Go Canada: Now ILLEGAL to auto-update software without 'consent'

Printer updates "for your benefit" (honest!)

Will this ban printer manufacturers auto-updating their drivers/printers to disable 3rd party cartridges? If so, that would be a good use for this law, as the printer companies are (nominally at least) "reputable" firms who might be expected to comply.
