53.31.4. For the purposes of section 53.31.3, the Government shall prescribe by regulation the information and documents a municipality is required to send to the Société québécoise de récupération et de recyclage and the conditions, including the date, under which they must be sent. The regulation must also specify the penalties applicable if those obligations are not met.

Should a municipality fail to send the required information or documents to the Société before the date prescribed by a regulation made under the first paragraph, the cost of the services provided by the municipality that is eligible for compensation is determined in accordance with the rules set by regulation. For that purpose, the Société may estimate the quantity of materials subject to compensation that was recovered or reclaimed in that municipality’s territory by using the data from other municipalities in accordance with that regulation.

Such a regulation may also include specific calculation rules in the case where the Société deems that a municipality’s failure to comply results from special circumstances beyond its control.
