Is is mandatory by law for Funimation to put a rating on their DVDs & Blu-Rays?

Okay, now from an email message they sent to me concerning ratings on DVDs & Blu-Rays, they said they put a rating to make it available in Canada & non-mainstream stores, and for broadcast distribution reasons. It is mandatory by law for anime companies (in particular Funimation) to put a rating on DVDs?

Now that Wikipedia is back- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Home_Video_Rating_System

While the CHVRS is a voluntary industry classification, various provinces may incorporate it into provincial legislation regarding home video sales and rentals, and it is found on most commercial products. Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Maritime provinces have regulations requiring CHVRS labelling or the equivalent, while British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario do not, although most or all provinces have additional regulations regarding the labelling and display of adult video material.
