4. The towing charges set in this Division are indexed every 3 months as of 1 August 2023 according to the for-hire motor carrier freight services monthly price index for the Truck transportation category established by Statistics Canada. The result of the indexation is obtained by multiplying the charges set on 1 June 2023 by the ratio between the average of the indexes established for the quarter preceding by 4 months the date of indexation and the average of the indexes established for April, May and June of 2022.
If a quarterly average, the ratio between the averages or the result of the indexation has more than 2 decimals, only the first 2 decimals are retained and the second one is increased by one unit if the third decimal is equal to or greater than 5.
The indexation rule may not operate to decrease the charges payable.
The Minister of Transport publishes each quarter the result of the indexation in the Gazette officielle du Québec.
