REGULATION 94-55
under the
Municipal Assistance Act
(O.C. 94-287)
Filed May 16, 1994
Under section 15 of the Municipal Assistance Act, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council makes the following Regulation:
Repealed: 2012, c.56, s.34
1This Regulation may be cited as the Grants to Local Service Districts Regulation - Municipal Assistance Act.
2(1)In this Regulation
“Act” means the Municipal Assistance Act;
“fiscal capacity” means the percentage quotient resulting from dividing the overall local service district tax base per capita by the sum of the overall local service district tax base per capita and the local service district tax base per capita;
“local service district tax base per capita” means the quotient resulting from dividing the local service district tax base of a local service district by the population of the local service district;
“overall local service district tax base per capita” means the quotient resulting from dividing the total of the local service district tax bases of all the local service districts by the total population of all the local service districts.
2(2)For the purpose of calculating each local service district tax base per capita and the overall local service district tax base per capita, the population of each local service district shall be determined by the Minister by adopting the final population figure from the latest official census of Statistics Canada or by adopting the most reliable information otherwise available to the Minister.
2001, c.15, s.4; 2006, c.16, s.115
3(1)Subject to subsection (2), the expenditure base applicable for determining a grant to be credited to a local service district is
(a) for the year 1994, the sum of the amount raised on the local service district tax base for the year 1993 and the local service district’s grant computed in accordance with the Act for the year 1993, and
(b) for any year after 1994, the sum of the amount raised on the local service district tax base for the previous year and the local service district’s grant determined in accordance with this Regulation for the previous year.
3(2)The Minister may, before determining a grant to be credited to a local service district, make such adjustment to the expenditure base of the local service district as is, in the opinion of the Minister, appropriate based on an estimate of the money required for the operation of the local service district for the following year.
2001, c.15, s.4; 2006, c.16, s.115
4The grant to be credited to a local service district each year under paragraph 5(1)(a) of the Act shall be determined
(a) by multiplying the expenditure base of the local service district for that year by the fiscal capacity of the local service district for that year, and
(b) by adjusting the amount determined in paragraph (a) by multiplying it by the quotient resulting from dividing the amount fixed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council under section 4.4 of the Act for that year by the total of the amounts computed for all the local service districts under paragraph (a).
5This Regulation shall be deemed to have come into force on August 31, 1993.
N.B. This Regulation is consolidated to January 1, 2013.
