The amount in subparagraph 4 of the first paragraph is adjusted annually based on the percentage increase in the average of the Consumer Price Index for Canada, published by Statistics Canada under the Statistics Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. S-19), for the 12 months of the preceding year compared to the 12 months of the year prior to that year.
