Adjustment of fees and allowances
8(1)The following rental fees and allowances shall be adjusted in accordance with this section:
(a) the rental fees payable for polling stations under paragraphs 5(1)(b) and (c);
(b) the fee payable for holding an additional poll under paragraph 5(2)(a); and
(c) the allowances payable under subsections 7(1) and (2).
8(2)For the purposes of subsection (1), a rental fee, a fee or an allowance shall be adjusted on January 1, 2023, and on January 1 of every succeeding year by multiplying the amount by the ratio that the Consumer Price Index for the 12-month period ending on the 30th day of September before that year bears to the Consumer Price Index for the 12-month period that ended on September 30, 2022.
8(3)If an amount to which subsection (2) applies is not a multiple of one dollar when adjusted as provided in this section, it shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of one dollar or, if it is equidistant from two consecutive multiples, to the higher multiple.
8(4)In this section, the Consumer Price Index for any 12-month period is the result arrived at by
(a) aggregating the Consumer Price Index for Canada, as published by Statistics Canada under the authority of the Statistics Act (Canada), for each month in that period,
(b) dividing the aggregate obtained under paragraph (a) by 12, and
(c) rounding the result obtained under paragraph (b) to the nearest one-thousandth or, if the result obtained is equidistant from two consecutive one-thousandths, to the higher one-thousandth.
8(5)If an adjustment to an amount that is otherwise required by this section would result in a decrease in the amount, no adjustment shall be made.
