A-18.1, r. 11 - Regulation respecting forest royalties

Section 5 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

5. The unit rate applicable to the holder of a forest management permit for the harvest of firewood for domestic purposes is fixed at $1.40/m3 apparent for any species or group of species [(D = $1.15/m3 apparent × (1.21) = $1.39/m3 apparent rounded off to $1.40/m3 apparent)].

That rate shall be indexed on 1 April of each year, by applying to the $1.15 amount the annual rates of increase in the general Consumer Price Index for Québec for the period beginning on 1 January and ending on 31 December of the year preceding the indexing year. The index for 1 year shall be the average of the monthly indexes for Québec as published by Statistics Canada.

The rate thus increased shall be reduced to the nearest fraction of $0.10/m3 where it contains a fraction less than $0.03/m3; it shall be rounded off to the nearest fraction of $0.05/m3 where it contains a fraction equal to or greater than $0.03/m3 but less than $0.08/m3; and it shall be increased to the nearest fraction of $0.10/m3 where it contains a fraction equal to or greater than $0.08/m3.

The Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife shall publish the result of the indexing in Part 1 of the Gazette officielle du Québec. He may also use any other means to ensure wider publicity.
