(2)  the person is already required, pursuant to a system of selective collection established pursuant to another law in Québec, to implement or contribute financially to measures to recover and reclaim the containers covered by the system; or

(3)  the person is able to show a direct contribution to another system to recover and reclaim the containers and packaging to which this Regulation applies that operates on a stable and regular basis in Québec and that

For the purposes of subparagraph 3 of the first paragraph, a person determines the person’s direct contribution to another recovery and reclamation system by sending to the Société québécoise de récupération et de recyclage and the Minister, on 15 May each year, a demonstration of the contribution the data of which have been audited by a person who is a professional within the meaning of section 1 of the Professional Code (chapter C-26), and authorized by the order of which the person is a member to complete an audit mission.
