(Assented to December 9, 2010)
HER MAJESTY, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, enacts as follows:
The Retail Businesses Holiday Closing Act is amended by this Act.
The following is added as section 4.3:
Extended Sunday hours on Boxing Day
Despite sections 2 and 3 but subject to a by-law made under section 4.4, when December 26 falls on a Sunday, a retail business establishment may be open at any time on that day if it was permitted to be open on the preceding Sunday under
(a) a by-law adopted under subsection 4.1(3); or
(b) a regulation made under subsection 4.1(5).
When December 26 falls on a Sunday, a provision of a lease or other agreement that would have the effect of requiring a retail business establishment to be open on that day before 12 noon or after 6:00 p.m. is of no effect in respect of those times.
Subsection (2) applies to a lease or other agreement made before or after the coming into force of this section.
In respect of a Sunday that falls on December 26, the council of a municipality may adopt a by-law
(a) providing that the exemption in subsection 4.3(1) is not in force in the municipality; or
(b) restricting the hours of operation under that exemption.
This Act comes into force on the day it receives royal assent.
