““Under the doctrine of in pari materia, two statutes dealing with the same subject will be considered with reference to one another to give them harmonious effect. [Citation.] The doctrine is also applicable to different sections of the same statute, and is consistent with the fundamental rule of statutory interpretation that all the provisions of a statute must be viewed as a whole. [Citation.]” People v. McCarty, 223 Ill. 2d 109, 133-34 , 858 N.E.2d 15, 31 (2006).”
