A new gauge invariant formulation of the relativistic scalar field interacting with Chern-Simons gauge fields is considered. This formulation is consistent with the gauge fixed formulation. Furthermore, we find that canonical (Noether) Poincar{acute e} generators are not gauge invariant even on the constraints surface and do not satisfy the (classical) Poincar{acute e} algebra. It is the improved generators, constructed from the symmetric energy-momentum tensor, which are (manifestly) gauge invariant and obey the classical Poincar{acute e} algebra. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
