(2)  the rules of ethics to which those persons are subject;
(3)  the rules governing the appointment of the chair, vice-chair and secretary;
(4)  the procedure for meetings and the frequency of meetings;

In the event of a discrepancy between the text of the pension plan and the text of the internal by-laws as regards the operation and governance of the committee, the latter prevails. However, in the case of the following subjects, the internal by-laws prevail only if the text of the pension plan expressly so provides:
(1)  the rules governing the appointment of the chair, vice-chair and secretary of the pension committee as well as their duties and obligations;
(2)  quorum and the granting of a casting vote at committee meetings; and
(3)  the proportion of committee members who must participate in a decision in order for it to be valid.
