26. The amount of the costs and fees prescribed in this Tariff shall be indexed on 1 April 1996, and on 1 April of every year thereafter, in the following manner:

(1)  where the amount of the costs or fees payable on 31 March preceding the annual indexing is equal to or greater than $35, it shall be indexed according to the rate of increase in the general Consumer Price Index for Canada, as determined by Statistics Canada for the period ending on 31 December of the year preceding the indexing;

(2)  where the amount of the costs or fees payable on 31 March preceding the annual indexing is less than $35, it shall be indexed by applying the cumulative rate of increase in the general Consumer Price Index for Canada, as determined by Statistics Canada for the period commencing on 31 December 1993 and ending on 31 December of the year preceding the indexing, to the amount of the costs or fees payable on 31 March 1995.

The costs or fees indexed in the prescribed manner shall be reduced to the nearest dollar where they contain a fraction of a dollar less than $0.50; they shall be increased to the nearest dollar where they contain a fraction of a dollar equal to or greater than $0.50.

The Minister of Justice shall publish the result of the annual indexing in Part 1 of the Gazette officielle du Québec. He may also employ any other means to ensure that the results of the indexing are more widely publicized.
