The vote of each party is expressed by means of a ballot worded as follows:

“I am favourable to the participation in the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan or the Pension Plan of Management Personnel, as the case may be, of the employees of the research centre who will be called to elect to participate in one plan or the other.

Yes [ ] No [ ]

Name of the party forming the employer: _____________________

Number of employees assigned: [ ]”.

A party may vote by proxy. The proxy must be given to the returning officer.

9. An employee who is a member of the Syndicat des fonctionnaires provinciaux du Québec inc., and has been absent without pay owing to a strike or a lock-out, between 22 June 1979 and 13 November 1979, may obtain credit for those days and part days provided that:

(1)  he applied to the Commission before 19 December 1981;

O.C. 1845-88, s. 9.

DIVISION V COMPUTATION OF PENSION

(s. 134, 1st par., subpars. 6, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3)

O.C. 1845-88, Div. V; T.B. 208555, s. 2.

10. The days and parts of days credited under sections 74, 85.1 and 221.1 of the Act, as well as the days and parts of days of absence without pay not credited are not part of the contributory days included in the contributory period.

O.C. 1845-88, s. 10; O.C. 422-90, s. 2; O.C. 706-94, s. 1; T.B. 208555, s. 2.

10.1. The contributory period of an employee who simultaneously holds, for the first time during a year, more than one employment under the plan is established, for the part of the year where more than one employment is simultaneously held, by retaining a reference employment from among the employments simultaneously held. The reference employment is the employment held by the employee on the day before the day on which more than one employment begin to be held simultaneously or, if none of those employments is held on that preceding day, the employment with the highest annual basic salary.

For each subsequent year, the reference employment retained to establish the contributory period remains the same as long as the employee continues to hold that employment.

The annual basic salary considered is the salary paid or that would have been paid to the employee according to the employment conditions applicable to the employee on the last credited day of the year.

T.B. 208555, s. 2.

10.2. Where, in a year, an employee ceases to hold the reference employment retained pursuant to section 10.1 and, before the end of that year, the employee simultaneously holds again more than one employment under the plan, that employee’s contributory period is established, for the part of the year where more than one employment is simultaneously held, by retaining as new reference employment from among the employments then held the employment held on the day before the day on which more than one employment begin to be held simultaneously or, if none of those employments is held on that preceding day, the employment with the highest annual basic salary.

Where, in a year, an employee ceases to hold the reference employment retained pursuant to section 10.1 and continues to simultaneously hold more than one employment under the plan, that employee’s contributory period is established, for the part of the year that begins on the first day following the day on which the employee ceases to hold the reference employment, by retaining as new reference employment from among the employments held on that first day the employment with the highest annual basic salary.

T.B. 208555, s. 2.

10.3. The daily factor used to compute the annualized pensionable salary of an employee who holds employment under the plan for which the basis of remuneration is 260 days is 260.9.

However, that factor is 260 if the employee is

(1)  a teacher employed by a private institution accredited for the purposes of subsidies under the Act respecting private education (chapter E-9.1) whose employment is to teach students as part of the educational services dispensed at preschool, elementary school or secondary school, belonging to one of the categories referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 of section 1 of that Act and subject, under section 25 of that Act, to the basic school regulation prescribed under the Education Act (chapter I-13.3);

(2)  a teacher employed by a private educational institution within the meaning of the Act respecting private education or employed by a college established by the General and Vocational Colleges Act (chapter C-29) who teaches general or vocational education at the college level;

(3)  a teacher referred to in paragraph 1 or 2 of this paragraph who is, under the plan, released without pay for union activities; or

(4)  a teacher employed by the Collège Marie de France, the Collège Stanislas or The Priory School inc. and whose employment is to teach students.

T.B. 208555, s. 2.

10.4. The annual basic salary of an employee who holds pensionable employment for which the basis of remuneration is 200 days and who is paid according to an hourly rate is established by multiplying that rate by the maximum number of hours that may be paid in a year. That number is

(1)  800, in the case of a teacher in adult education or vocational training or a teacher hired by the lesson at the secondary level;

(2)  920, in the case of a teacher hired by the lesson at the preschool or elementary level;

(3)  1,000, in the case of a casual supply teacher.

DIVISION VII ACTUARIAL VALUE

(s. 134, 1st par., subpars. 9 and 9.0.1)

O.C. 1845-88, Div. VII; T.B. 203094, s. 2.

12. For the purposes of this Regulation, the expression “CIA Standard” refers to the “Standard of Practice for Determining Pension Commuted Values” confirmed by the board of directors of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries on 15 June 2004.

O.C. 1845-88, s. 12; O.C. 884-91, s. 2; T.B. 203094, s. 2.

12.1. The actuarial values of the benefits referred to in sections 43.2, 46.1, 53, 54 and 79 of the Act are determined, taking into account sections 12.2 to 12.2.3, using the following actuarial assumptions:

(1)  Mortality rates:

The mortality rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.

(2)  Interest rates:

For fully-indexed and non-indexed benefits:

The interest rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.

For partially-indexed benefits:

The interest rates are those determined according to the following formula:

((1 + interest rate for a non-indexed benefit) / (1 + indexing rate for a partially-indexed benefit)) - 1

The result must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.25%.

(3)  Indexing rate:

(a)  for a fully-indexed benefit according to the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA Standard;

(b)  for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the pension index (PI) over 3% or to half of the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate corresponds respectively to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in subparagraph a over 3% or to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in that subparagraph.

In order to take into account the inflation rate variations, the following additions are made to the results of effective indexing formulas for actuarial value computation purposes.

12.2. The actuarial value of the pension referred to in section 43.2 of the Act is determined using the “benefit allocation” actuarial method and corresponds to the sum of 30% of the actuarial value determined for a male and 70% of the actuarial value determined for a female.

O.C. 884-91, s. 3; T.B. 203094, s. 2.

12.2.1. The actuarial value of the deferred pension referred to in section 46.1 or 54 of the Act is determined using the following actuarial method and assumptions:

Actuarial method

The actuarial method is the “benefit allocation” method and the actuarial value corresponds to the sum of 30% of the actuarial value determined for a male and 70% of the actuarial value determined for a female.

Actuarial assumptio

For that section 46.1, the actuarial assumptions apply, taking into account the rules of Part D of Section 3 of the CIA Standard.

For that section 46.1 or 54, the interest rate applicable from the CANSIM series published by Statistics Canada in the Bank of Canada Review is the reported rate for the fourth month preceding the month in which the valuation date falls and not that of the second month.

T.B. 203094, s. 2.

12.2.2. For the purposes of section 53 of the Act, the annual value of the initial pension paid to the employee is adjusted by multiplying it by the ratio obtained by dividing the value “A” by the value “B”, where

“A” corresponds to the actuarial value at the employee’s retirement age; and

“B” corresponds to the actuarial value at age 65.

The actuarial value is determined using the “benefit allocation” actuarial method and the actuarial value corresponds to the sum of 30% of the actuarial value determined for a male and 70% of the actuarial value determined for a female.

T.B. 203094, s. 2.

12.2.3. The actuarial value of the benefits referred to in section 79 of the Act is determined using the “benefit allocation” actuarial method and the actuarial assumption of retirement age is the age attained at the date of payment of that actuarial value.

DIVISION X.1 ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND METHOD

(s. 134, 1st par., subpar. 13.2)

T.B. 203094, s. 5.

30.1. The actuarial values of the benefits referred to in sections 109.2 and 109.8 of the Act are determined using the following actuarial method and assumptions:

Actuarial method

The actuarial method is the “projected benefit method” pro rated on service.

In the case of section 109.2, the pensionable salary of the retirement plans involved in the transfer is the salary that is taken into account to determine the average pensionable salary used to calculate the pension.

Actuarial assumptions

(1)  Mortality rates:

The mortality rates are determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.

(2)  Interest rates:

For fully-indexed and non-indexed benefits:

The interest rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.

For partially indexed benefits:

The interest rates are determined according to the following formula:

((1 + interest rate for a non-indexed benefit) / (1 + indexing rate for a partially-indexed benefit)) - 1

The result must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.25%.

(3)  Indexing rate:

(a)  for a fully-indexed benefit according to the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA Standard;

(b)  for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the pension index (PI) over 3% or to half of the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate corresponds respectively to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in subparagraph a over 3% or to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in that subparagraph.

In order to take into account the inflation rate variations, the following additions are made to the results of effective indexing formulas for actuarial value computation purposes.

 Inflation        Addition to        Adjusted       Addition to        Adjusted

35. Compensation for a sum owed by a person, unless such sum is payable to cover the cost of a redemption, must be paid in full if it is paid on a refund of contributions, overpayment of contributions or sums paid to cover the cost of a redemption or on any payment of arrears of contributions. If the amount of the refund or the arrears is not sufficient to cover the compensation in full, the rules prescribed by section 34 apply in respect of the balance of the sum owed by the person.

Compensation for a sum owed by a person to pay the cost of a redemption must be made in full on any payment of contributions.

O.C. 1845-88, s. 35.

35.1. The Commission must remit any amount owed to it if the debtor demonstrates that all income determined pursuant to the second paragraph is less than the low-income cutoff determined pursuant to the third paragraph. If all the income is equal to or greater than the cutoff, the amount owed to be remitted must be reduced by 20% for each slice of $1,000 of surplus income.

The income is that of the debtor and of his dependents, coming from all sources, for the 12-month period preceding the month during which the notice of claim was made by the Commission, without considering the overpayment made by the Commission.

The low-income cutoff corresponds to the total income indicated in the table “Low income measures by income concept, for household size of four persons”, accessible on the website of Statistics Canada via the navigation element entitled “Low income lines - Tables and figure”, for the year preceding by 2 years the year in which the notice of claim was made by the Commission. That threshold is adjusted to take into account the size of the household, using the method described in that table.

The first paragraph does not apply in cases of fraud or where a partial remittal of a debt has already been made pursuant to that paragraph in respect of the amount owed. It does not apply where the debtor may make the choice provided for in section 147.0.3 of the Act.

(s. 134, 1st par., subpar. 18)

39. The rate of contribution of the plan applicable from 1 January following the receipt by the Minister of the report of the independent actuary accompanying the actuarial valuation provided for in the first paragraph of section 174 of the Act and those that apply respectively on 1 January of the 2 subsequent years are obtained by performing the following operations:

(1)  calculating the difference between the rate of contribution resulting from the actuarial valuation, established with an exemption of 35% of the maximum pensionable earnings, and the last rate of contribution applicable under the plan, established with the exemption of 35%;

(2)  increasing or decreasing, as the case may be, for the first year, the last rate of contribution, established with the exemption of 35%, by one-third of that difference and, for each of the 2 subsequent years, the rate of contribution of the previous year increased or decreased by one-third of that difference;

(3)  determining, from the rates thus obtained pursuant to subparagraph 2, the rates of contribution applicable for each of the 3 years, taking into account the percentage of exemption applicable to the maximum pensionable earnings of the year concerned as provided for in Schedule II.1.1 to the Act.

Despite the first paragraph, the rates of contribution respectively applicable from 1 January 2012 and 2013 are obtained by performing the following operations:

(1)  for 2012, increasing the rate of contribution applicable in 2011, established with an exemption of 35% of the maximum pensionable earnings, by 0.50% and, for 2013, the rate thus obtained by 0.50%;

(2)  determining, from the rates obtained pursuant to subparagraph 1, the rates of contribution applicable for each of the 2 years, taking into account the percentage of exemption applicable to the maximum pensionable earnings of the year concerned as provided for in Schedule II.1.1 to the Act.

For the purposes of this section, where a rate of contribution is established with a percentage of exemption of the maximum pensionable earnings and a second rate of contribution is established with a different percentage of exemption, the last rate must generate an aggregate of the contributions calculated for the year concerned equivalent to the aggregate of the contributions calculated with the other rate.

The applicable rate of contribution and the factor used each year in the formula provided for in Schedule II.1.1 to the Act, used to determine the amount withheld annually by employers, are referred to in Schedule IV.4.

A + (0.7% x B) = M

———————

2%

“A” represents 2/3 of $1,725 or of the defined benefit limit applicable under the Income Tax Act for the year in which the application for redemption is received at the Commission, whichever amount is higher;

“B” represents the portion of the pensionable salary that does not exceed the maximum pensionable earnings within the meaning of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9) and applicable for the year in which the application for redemption is received at the Commission.

The pensionable salary, for the purpose of establishing the cost of redeeming part of a year prior to 1 January 1990, shall be divided by the service credited being redeemed, and the amount resulting from that division shall not exceed amount “M” in the first paragraph.

O.C. 706-94, s. 3; T.B. 202419, s. 13.

If the employee retires before the date of his 65th birthday, the part of the pension relating to those years or parts of years shall not exceed the amount obtained pursuant to the first paragraph increased by the amount obtained by multiplying the amount calculated pursuant to section 39 of the Act by the fraction representing the number of years or parts of years of service credited being redeemed over the number of years or parts of years of service credited after 31 December 1965, up to a maximum of 35 years of service.

O.C. 706-94, s. 3; T.B. 202419, s. 14; T.B. 210068, s. 4.

(s. 134, 1st par., subpar. 22.3)

O.C. 706-94, s. 3; T.B. 202419, s. 15.

46.3. The periods during which the employee is absent after 31 December 1991, except the periods during which the employee is exempt from any contribution under section 21 or 21.1 of the Act and the periods for which the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) provides for the issue of an equivalence factor for past service, and which may be credited under the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan shall not exceed a total of 5 years of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of leave related to maternity, parternity or adoption, that total may be increased by not more than 3 years of service.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, a period of absence corresponds to the difference between the service credited under the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan and the service that would have been credited under that plan in proportion to the salary received by the employee. For the purposes of that paragraph, leave related to maternity, paternity or adoption constitutes all or part of a period beginning at the time of the birth or adoption of a child and ending not later than 12 months after any of those events.

O.C. 706-94, s. 3; T.B. 202419, s. 16.

46.4. An employee may have each period of absence without pay prior to 1 January 1990 credited under the plan, without exceeding 2 years of service except in the case of a period of absence related to total disability, educational leave, sabbatical leave, maternity leave, paternity leave or adoption leave.

T.B. 202419, s. 17.

46.5. Despite section 46.4, an employee may have each period of absence prior to 1 January 1990 credited under the plan, without exceeding 3 years of service, during which the employee held employment with the Government of Canada, the government of another province, a union, an association representing management personnel, a charitable organization or an educational institution if no contribution concerning that period has been accumulated in another plan.

DIVISION VI ESTABLISHMENT OF RATES OF INTEREST

(s. 134, 1st par., subpar. 22.4)

T.B. 202419, s. 17.

§ 1 . — Rates of interest based on the rates of return of certain funds

T.B. 202419, s. 17.

46.6. The rate of interest in Schedule VI to the Act, applicable from 1 June of a given year to 31 May of the following year, is established by calculating the geometric mean of the annual rates of return for the 3-year period ending on 31 December of the year preceding the reference year, according to the formula in Schedule V.

T.B. 202419, s. 17; T.B. 213342, s. 1.

46.7. The annual rate of return is the rate determined by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec as at 31 December of each year, taking into account the classes of amounts referred to in subparagraphs 1, 2 and 4 of the first paragraph of section 127 of the Act, for the specific fund of the Pension Plan of Management Personnel, after subtracting the management expenses.

T.B. 202419, s. 17.

§ 2 . — Rates of interest based on an external index

T.B. 202419, s. 17.

46.8. The rate of interest in Schedule VII to the Act is applicable from 1 June of a given year to 31 May of the following year. The rate is established by determining the arithmetic mean, for the 12-month period ending on 31 December of the preceding year, of the nominal rates of interest on negotiable bonds issued by the Government of Canada for a term of 3 to 5 years as compiled by Statistics Canada and published in the Bank of Canada Review under the identification No. V-122485 in the CANSIM System.

COMPUTATION OF THE RATE OF INTEREST

The formula for the computation of the rate of interest for the reference year is the following:

iy = ( (1 + Ty-1 ) ( 1 + Ty-2 ) ( 1 + Ty-3 ) ) 1/3 - 1

where

Ty-1 is the rate of return for the year preceding the reference year

Ty-2 is the rate of return for the year preceding the reference year by 2 years

Ty-3 is the rate of return for the year preceding the reference year by 3 years

O.C. 1845-88, Sch. V; T.B. 200683, s. 2.

SCHEDULE VI

(s. 49.1)

RATE OF INTEREST

Pursuant to section 49.1, the rate of interest applicable to contributions referred to in subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph of section 219 of the Act corresponds to rate I determined according to the following formula:

I = [(1+i1) nb1/365 × (1+i2) nb2/365] 1/2 -1, where

i1 represents the interest rate of Schedule VI to the Act applicable at the beginning of the employee’s period of membership until the earlier of the following dates: the date of the end of the period of application of the interest rate, the date of the end of the period of membership or 31 December of the year concerned;

nb1 represents the number of days during which the interest rate represented by the variable i 1 is applicable;

i2 represents, where the employee’s period of membership ends on a date later than the date of the end of the period of application of the interest rate represented by the variable i1, the interest rate of Schedule VI to the Act applicable on the day following the end of the period of application until the earlier of the following dates: the date of the end of the period of membership or 31 December of the year concerned;

nb2 represents the number of days during which the interest rate represented by the variable i2 is applicable.

Where the period of membership ends on a date prior to the date of the end of the period of application of the interest rate represented by the variable i1, the term (1+i2) nb2/365 is equal to 1.
