"description": "Manitoba vs Yukon packaging EPR compared: registration thresholds, fees per kilogram, deadlines and report formats, each from a primary source.",
"answer": "Manitoba and Yukon both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Manitoba exempts only producers below the lower revenue floor, CA$750,000 against CA$1,000,000 in Yukon. Both programmes set their first annual report for May 31. Yukon publishes the higher per-kilogram fee in 4 of 4 shared material classes.",
