105. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of any general law, special Act, regulation, by-law or order, no member of the council of the local corporation may receive, as an indemnity for a portion of the expenses attaching to the office of mayor or councillor and an office in a mandatary body of the local corporation or in a supramunicipal body, a total annual sum greater than the amount of the annual expense allowance of a Member of the National Assembly established under the Act respecting the conditions of employment and the pension plan of the Members of the National Assembly (chapter C-52.1).
Where the total annual sum that a member of the council would receive as an indemnity for a portion of his expenses, if the first paragraph did not apply, exceeds the maximum fixed by the first paragraph, the excess is deemed, for each office contemplated and in proportion to the basic remuneration for that office, to be additional remuneration rather than an indemnity for expenses. For the computation of the total annual sum that a member of the council would receive, the decrease made in accordance with the third paragraph of article 103 or the fourth paragraph of article 104 is, if applicable, taken into account.
For the purposes of this article, the expressions “mandatary body of the local corporation” and “supramunicipal body” have the meaning given to them by article 103 and article 19, respectively.
