The limit used to be Mount Royal which is at 232,5 m from sea level. The elevation on Saint-Jacques is at 15 m which means that both the Banque National and Victoria sur le Parc could have built up to 217,5 m...
But the regulation has been updated in 2016. Now the true limit is 200 m.

5.1.1 Les limites de hauteur
La réglementation d'arrondissement ne peut permettre une hauteur de bâtiment supérieure à la moins élevée des hauteurs suivantes :
- Une hauteur de 232,5 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer;
- Une hauteur de 200 mètres.

To translate, the limit is still the elevation of Mount Royal as I explained OR 200 m,
the lowest of the two. So both BNC and Victoria are max out in height.
With these rules, 1000 de la Gauchetière will always be the tallest (or if you prefer le 1250 René-Lévesque which is "officially" 230 m with its spear).
