14. Fees for a permit: Fees payable for the issue or renewal of a permit for operating an establishment are $505 per year. The fees provided for in the first paragraph 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 12-month period ending on 30 September of the preceding year, as determined by Statistics Canada.
The fees 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 Minister shall inform the public, through Part 1 of the Gazette officielle du Québec or by such other means as he considers appropriate, of the indexing calculated under this section.
