# Manitoba vs Québec EPR: Rules Compared

Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/compare/manitoba-vs-quebec

<a id="answer"></a>

Manitoba and Québec both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Manitoba exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$750,000 against CA$1,300,000 in Québec. Both require producers to register. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. Québec publishes the higher per-kilogram fee in 4 of 4 shared material classes.

## Manitoba and Québec side by side

5 of 9 rows have a verified figure on each side of Manitoba and Québec; a cell reads “not yet published” when a side has none, and an exemption row reads “none recorded; see thresholds” when no exemption is on record.

<a id="glance-table"></a>**Manitoba and Québec: the measures both programmes publish**

| Measure | Manitoba | Québec | Stricter |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registration duty | Required | Required | Same |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | Not comparable |
| Lowest revenue exemption | CA$750,000 | CA$1,300,000 | Manitoba |
| Lowest weight exemption | none recorded; see thresholds | 1 tonne | Not comparable |
| First annual report date | May 31 | May 31 | Same |
| Published penalties | not yet published | not yet published | Not comparable |
| Report file | csv | csv | Not comparable |
| Paper fee, cheapest matched rate | 18.23 cents per kilogram | 806.84 CAD/tonne | Québec |
| Plastic fee, cheapest matched rate | 79.03 cents per kilogram | 1,882.29 CAD/tonne | Québec |

<a id="calc-revenue"></a>The lowest revenue exemption is CA$750,000 in Manitoba and CA$1,300,000 in Québec. Manitoba therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in Québec but still in scope in Manitoba.

<a id="calc-registration"></a>Both programmes require a producer to register, in Manitoba and in Québec.

<a id="calc-report-date"></a>The first annual report date is the same on both sides, May 31.

<a id="calc-rates"></a>Across 4 shared material classes, Québec publishes the higher cheapest per-kilogram fee in 4, and Manitoba in 0. A higher fee is not the same as a stricter rule; it is simply a larger published number per kilogram.

## Who runs the programme in Manitoba and Québec

Who collects and who the producer files with, in Manitoba and then Québec.

<a id="programme-table"></a>**Manitoba and Québec: how each programme is set up**

| Aspect | Manitoba | Québec |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Regime | Packaging and Printed Paper Stewardship Regulation, M.R. 195/2008 | Regulation respecting a system of selective collection of certain residual materials (Q-2, r. 46.01) |
| Producers obligated | Yes | Yes |
| Registration | Required, WeRecycle Portal | Required, ÉEQ declaration portal |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation: Recycle Manitoba (MMSM); membership required | one producer responsibility organisation: Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ); membership required |
| Revenue counted as | gross revenue inside the jurisdiction, CAD, given year | gross revenue inside the jurisdiction, CAD, year |
| Who counts as the producer | other: brand owner, importer; primary: brand owner, importer; secondary: brand owner, importer; service: brand owner, importer; shipping: brand owner, importer; tertiary: brand owner, importer | other: brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace, seller; primary: brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace, seller; secondary: brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace, seller; service: brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace, seller; shipping: brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace, seller; tertiary: brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace, seller |

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Manitoba: the regulator. Reason: Regulator naming from program pages.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Manitoba: the rules on transferring responsibility. Reason: Transfer rules not read.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Québec: the regulator. Reason: Regulator naming from the legal-framework page.

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Québec: the rules on transferring responsibility. Reason: Sections summarised.

Both programmes organise producer responsibility the same way: one producer responsibility organisation. The practical differences between Manitoba and Québec therefore sit in thresholds, fees, dates and report formats rather than in whom a producer deals with.

Each row below is one published feature of the two programmes; a cell reads “not yet published” when Manitoba or Québec has no verified entry for it in the dataset.

<a id="scope-table"></a>**Scope, producer duties, categories, labelling and targets, Manitoba and Québec**

| Aspect | Manitoba | Québec |

## Thresholds and exemptions in Manitoba and Québec

Every verified threshold Manitoba and Québec publish, as each states it.

<a id="thresholds-table"></a>**Verified thresholds in Manitoba and Québec**

| Place | Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis as published |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- |
| Manitoba | revenue | CA$750,000 | exempt below | gross Manitoba revenue including affiliates and franchisees |
| Manitoba | packaging weight | 5,000 kg | flat-fee band | A steward supplying under 5,000 kg a year may pay a flat fee instead of material fees, in two bands: 1,000 to 2,499 kg and 2,500 to 5,000 kg. The amounts are published each year and are on that year's fee schedule. |
| Québec | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | targeted materials |
| Québec | packaging tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below | targeted materials placed on the market |
| Québec | revenue | CA$1,300,000 | exempt below | annual sales (the fee schedule page says 1M or less, 1.3M as of 2024; the step-by-step reporting page says less than 1.3M) |

<a id="a-exemption-below-revenue"></a>Manitoba exemption: Under CAD 750,000 gross Manitoba revenue, including affiliates and franchisees It does not have to be applied for.

<a id="b-exemption-small-business"></a>Québec exemption: Under 1 tonne AND sales under 1.3 million: no report It does not have to be applied for.

Read the basis column first: the same amount can exempt a producer in one programme and only simplify its report in another.

The lowest revenue exemption is CA$750,000 in Manitoba and CA$1,300,000 in Québec. Manitoba therefore reaches smaller sellers: a business with revenue between the two lines is exempt in Québec but still in scope in Manitoba.

<a id="rates"></a>

## Fees per kilogram for shared materials

4 material classes have a published rate on both sides; each row shows the cheapest rate that fits the class.

<a id="rates-table"></a>**Cheapest published rate per kilogram by material class, Manitoba and Québec**

| Material class | Manitoba (CAD per kg) | Québec (CAD per kg) | Higher fee |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 18.23 cents per kilogram | 806.84 CAD/tonne | Québec |
| plastic | 79.03 cents per kilogram | 1,882.29 CAD/tonne | Québec |
| glass | 22.41 cents per kilogram | 654.24 CAD/tonne | Québec |
| steel | 30.96 cents per kilogram | 703.17 CAD/tonne | Québec |

Scaling the cheapest published rate by weight shows what the gap between Manitoba and Québec amounts to for a given tonnage of one material. The amounts are the rate times the weight, nothing added.

<a id="rates-scale"></a>**Fee at the cheapest published rate for 1 to 100,000 kilograms, Manitoba and Québec**

## Which to plan for first, Manitoba or Québec

Check the exemption thresholds before anything else. Manitoba reaches smaller sellers than Québec, so a seller that is exempt in Québec may still have to register in Manitoba.

<a id="faq"></a>

## Questions about comparing these two programmes

### <a id="q1"></a>Is Manitoba or Québec stricter on packaging EPR?

Manitoba exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$750,000 against CA$1,300,000 in Québec. Both require producers to register. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. Québec publishes the higher per-kilogram fee in 4 of 4 shared material classes.

### <a id="q2"></a>Do I register in both Manitoba and Québec?

Manitoba requires producers to register. Québec requires producers to register.

### <a id="q3"></a>How do the fees per kilogram compare in Manitoba and Québec?

Across 4 shared material classes, Québec publishes the higher cheapest per-kilogram fee in 4, and Manitoba in 0. A higher fee is not the same as a stricter rule; it is simply a larger published number per kilogram.

### <a id="q4"></a>Which deadline comes first, Manitoba or Québec?

The first annual report date is the same on both sides, May 31.
