46. The amounts mentioned in sections 9 and 11 and in paragraphs a and e of section 10 shall be indexed annually according to the increase in the cost of living in Québec, using the increase in the pension index provided in the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9).
In each year for which the amounts granted under the Social Aid Act (chapter A-16) are indexed, the indexation provided for by the first paragraph shall be made at the same time.
If a separate index is established for the territory contemplated in section 2 of the Act respecting Cree, Inuit and Naskapi Native persons (chapter A-33.1), on a basis similar to that used in Québec on 11 November 1975, the Board may, by unanimous decision, choose such index for the future years.
