24. The fees payable under this Order are adjusted on 1 January of each year based on the percentage change in the general Consumer Price Indexes for Canada, as published by Statistics Canada; the change is calculated by determining the difference between the average of the monthly indexes for the 12-month period ending on 30 September of the preceding year and the average of the monthly indexes for the same period of the second preceding year.
The adjusted amounts are reduced to the nearest dollar if they contain a fraction of a dollar less than $0.50; they are increased to the nearest dollar if they contain a fraction of a dollar equal to or greater than $0.50.
The Minister publishes the results of the adjustment in the Gazette officielle du Québec before 1 January of each year and, if the Minister considers it appropriate, gives notice by any other means.
