"description": "Alberta vs Saskatchewan packaging EPR compared: registration thresholds, fees per kilogram, deadlines and report formats, each from a primary source.",
"answer": "Alberta and Saskatchewan both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Saskatchewan exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$1,000,000 against CA$1,500,000 in Alberta. Saskatchewan asks for its first annual report earlier, on May 31 against June 30 in Alberta. Alberta publishes the higher per-kilogram fee in 5 of 5 shared material classes.",

A higher fee is not the same as a stricter rule; it is simply a larger published number per kilogram.\n\n### Which deadline comes first, Alberta or Saskatchewan?\n\nThe earliest annual report date is June 30 in Alberta and May 31 in Saskatchewan, 30 days apart.
