Ҥ2. Computation of equalization amount

“A- Equalization amount of certain municipalities entitled to a predetermined amount

“24. In the case of a municipality referred to in section 17, if the total of the aliquot shares computed in its respect in accordance with Subdivision 1 of this Division and Subdivision 1 of Division IV, for the fiscal year 2008, is less than the equalization amount to which the municipality was entitled for the fiscal year 2001, the equalization amount is equal to the amount to which the municipality was entitled for the fiscal year 2001.

The equalization amount to which a municipality referred to in the first paragraph is entitled is equal to the aliquot share computed under section 19, where the total of the aliquot shares referred to in that paragraph is greater than the amount to which the municipality was entitled for the fiscal year 2001.

Any eligible municipality, from among the group made up of Municipalité de Baie-James, Ville de Chibougamau, Ville de Fermont and Ville de Lebel-sur-Quévillon, is entitled to receive an equalization amount equal to the aliquot share that is computed in its respect, in accordance with Subdivision 1, for the fiscal year 2008.

“24.1. Any municipality eligible under section 4.1 is entitled to receive, for the fiscal year 2008, an equalization amount equal to 50% of the amount to which it was entitled for the fiscal year 2006.

“24.2. Section 24.1 does not apply to a municipality that is entitled to receive an aliquot share computed under section 19 equal to or greater than the equalization amount computed in accordance with section 24.1.

“B- Equalization amount of a municipality not referred to in section 24 or 24.1

“ TITLE i “ Rule

“25. The equalization amount of an eligible municipality that is not referred to in section 24 or 24.1 is the result of the adjustment provided for in section 26 that is made to the sum computed in accordance with section 25.3 or 25.4.

“ TITLE ii “ Adjustment computed in respect of a new municipality

“25.1. Sections 25.2 and 25.3 apply for the purpose of computing the sum to be adjusted under section 26 in respect of any eligible municipality that meets the following conditions:

(1)  it is a new municipality within the meaning of section 34; and

(2)  the budget it adopted for the fiscal year 2002 was its first budget, if the municipality results from an amalgamation, or its first budget that takes into account the annexation, if the municipality effected a total annexation.

“25.2. For the purpose of computing the sum to be adjusted, an aliquot share is first computed in respect of the municipality by applying Subdivision 1.

“25.3. The sum to be adjusted is the difference obtained by subtracting the neutrality amount that must be paid to the municipality in 2008 according to the data available on 1 May 2008 from the aliquot share computed in respect of the municipality in accordance with section 25.2.

The sum is equal to zero where the aliquot share is equal to or less than the neutrality amount.

“ TITLE iii “ Adjustment computed in respect of another municipality

“25.4. For any eligible municipality that is not referred to in section 24, 24.1 or 25.1, the sum to be adjusted under section 26 is the aliquot share computed in its respect by applying Subdivision 1.

“26. The adjustment of the sum computed in accordance with section 25.3 or 25.4 consists in multiplying that sum by the factor determined by the following consecutive operations:

(1)  the total formed by the equalization amounts computed in accordance with sections 24 and 24.1 is subtracted from the sum to be apportioned under section 18; and

(2)  the difference resulting from the subtraction provided for in subparagraph 1 is divided by the total of the sums computed in accordance with sections 25.3 and 25.4.

The quotient resulting from that division and constituting the adjustment factor must contain 11 decimals.”.
