Q-2, r. 16.1 - Regulation respecting the development, implementation and financial support of a deposit-refund system for certain containers

Section 145 Disposition versions

2022-07-07

145. If the designated management bodies submit a dispute to an arbitrator, pursuant to section 149, concerning an element referred to in paragraph 2 of section 143, they must, beginning on 1 January 2024, and every 3 months until an arbitration award is made, characterize the redeemable containers or residual materials targeted by the selective collection system and taken in charge by one of the systems despite not being targeted by that system.

The bodies must, not later than 31 December 2023, jointly mandate a person to perform the characterizations referred to in the first paragraph.

A characterization must make it possible to determine the types and quantities of redeemable containers taken in charge by the selective collection system or of residual materials taken in charge by the deposit-refund system despite not being targeted by that system.

To determine the types and quantities of redeemable containers taken in charge by the selective collection system, each characterization must be performed using samples taken at a place where residual materials coming mostly from urban territories are sorted, a place where residual materials coming mostly from peri-urban territories are sorted, and a place where residual materials coming mostly from rural territories are sorted, all of which are situated in different administrative regions.

To determine the types and quantities of residual materials taken in charge by the deposit-refund system, each characterization must be performed using samples taken in 10 operating return sites, including at least 2 of each type of return site, situated in at least 5 administrative regions.

The number of samples and the frequency at which the samples are taken must be validated by a statistician with a university diploma in statistics or an accreditation issued by the Statistical Society of Canada or by a statistician who is a member of the Association des statisticiens et statisticiennes du Québec.

The financial terms and conditions applicable to the taking in charge, by a system, of redeemable containers or residual materials that are not targeted by that system are, beginning on 1 January 2024 and until the date of the arbitration award, if the terms and conditions were not the subject of an agreement before that date, the terms and conditions determined by the arbitrator based on the information obtained as part of its mandate. The calculation of the amounts to be paid for taking containers or residual materials in charge must be carried out on the basis of their quantity, determined by the characterizations conducted under this section.

O.C. 972-2022, s. 145.
