The amounts of court fees prescribed in this Tariff shall be indexed on 1 April of each year on the basis of the rate of increase in the general Consumer Price Index for Canada for the twelve-month period ending on 31 December of the year preceding the indexing, as determined by Statistics Canada.

The Minister of Justice shall inform the public of the indexing calculated under this section through Part 1 of the Gazette officielle du Québec and, if the Minister considers it appropriate, by any other means.
