2.1. The amounts and duties prescribed in this Regulation shall be indexed on 1 January of each year on the basis of the rate of increase in the general Consumer Price Index for Canada for the 12-month period ending on 30 September of the preceding year, as determined by Statistics Canada.
The amount prescribed in section 1 and the tariff prescribed in section 2 indexed in the prescribed manner shall be reduced to the nearest dollar where they contain a fraction of a dollar less than $0.50; they shall be increased to the nearest dollar where they contain a fraction of a dollar equal to or greater than $0.50.
The tariff prescribed in section 3 indexed in the prescribed manner shall be reduced to the nearest multiple of $0.10 where it contains a fraction of a dollar in which the second figure after the decimal point is 1, 2, 3 or 4, and shall be increased to the nearest multiple of $0.10 where it contains a fraction of a dollar in which the second figure after the decimal point is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.
The president of the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec shall inform the public, through Part 1 of the Gazette officielle du Québec and by such other means as he may consider appropriate, of the indexing calculated under this section.
