The Workers’ Compensation Act (chapter A-3), amended by sections 479 to 483 of the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases and the regulations made under chapter A-3, remain in force:

(1) for the purposes of the processing of claims made for industrial accidents and deaths that occurred before 19 August 1985 and for claims made before that date for occupational diseases, except in the case of a recurrence, relapse or aggravation contemplated in the first paragraph of section 555 of chapter A-3.001;

(2) for the purposes of every classification of industries and employers’ assessment carried out for a year prior to 1986, subject to sections 580 and 581 of chapter A-3.001;

(3) for the purposes of the application of the Act to promote good citizenship (chapter C-20) and the Crime Victims Compensation Act (chapter I-6).

1. Subject to conditions determined by the Government, under the law, the new rescue stations shall be organized by the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources, which shall provide for their equipment, their maintenance, in the same way as for the stations presently in existence, and for the maintenance of the personnel necessary for their adequate operation.

2. The Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail will assume the cost of disbursements to be incurred by the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources for the establishment of new rescue stations, their annual maintenance as well as the maintenance of stations presently existing, in conformity with the provisions hereinafter.

R.R.Q., 1981, c. A-3, r. 9, s. 2.

4. The Commission shall reimburse the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources for the amounts indicated in the said statements, and the amounts thus paid, as much for capital stock expenses as for annual maintenance charges and the payroll for wages and salaries, shall be paid from the accident funds of the Commission.

R.R.Q., 1981, c. A-3, r. 9, s. 4.

5. The Commission shall recuperate its advances of the funds of the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources in the following way:
