§ 5.  — Pensions
85. For the purposes of subdivision 5, unless the context indicates a different meaning:
(a)  “member” means a person who was a member of the National Assembly on the 1st of January 1958 or who became a member thereof after that date or who having been a member of the Legislative Council after such date became a member;
(b)  “indemnity” means the indemnity payable to members for sessions of Parliament, but does not include amounts granted as entertainment expenses.
In the case of the members of the Conseil exécutif, the President, the Vice-Presidents of the National Assembly, the Leader of the Opposition, each member to whom paragraph 6 of section 7 of the Act respecting the conditions of employment and the pension plan of the Members of the National Assembly (chapter C-52.1) applies, the parliamentary assistants, the House Leader of the Opposition or of a party contemplated in paragraph 6 of section 7 of the Act respecting the conditions of employment and the pension plan of the Members of the National Assembly, the Chief Government Whip and the Chief Opposition Whip of the National Assembly, the Whip of any party contemplated in paragraph 6 of section 7 of the Act respecting the conditions of employment and the pension plan of the Members of the National Assembly, a Deputy Government House Leader who is not a member of the Conseil exécutif, a Deputy House Leader of the Official Opposition Party, an assistant Whip or a member appointed to act as chairman of the select committees, the word “indemnity” also includes, if the holder of the office indicates that he so desires by notice to the Minister of Finance, the supplementary indemnity which he receives by virtue of such indemnity, or a part of such indemnity, for a specified or indeterminate period, from and after the session mentioned in the said notice. He may at any subsequent time, by a similar notice, renounce for the future the addition of such supplementary indemnity to that which he receives as a member, for the purpose of computing his contributions.
R. S. 1964, c. 6, s. 102; 1965 (1st sess.), c. 11, s. 10; 1966-67, c. 15, s. 7; 1968, c. 9, s. 39, s. 90; 1970, c. 5, s. 3; 1971, c. 9, s. 20; 1973, c. 10, s. 15; 1977, c. 5, s. 14; 1982, c. 58, s. 44; 1982, c. 62, s. 160.
86. A system of retirement pensions is established by this act, on a contributory basis, for the members of the National Assembly.
Such system of pensions shall not apply to a member who notifies the Minister of Finance that he does not propose to take part in the pension plan. This notice may be given by a member at any time after his being sworn as such.
R. S. 1964, c. 6, s. 103; 1968, c. 9, s. 40; 1982, c. 62, s. 161.

(2)  If the member wishes the provisions of section 98 to be applicable to his consort and to his children, he shall give notice of it to the Minister of Finance and furnish an additional contribution of 2 %.
(3)  Such contributions shall be deducted monthly from each indemnity payment.
A member who has been a member of the Parliament of Canada and to whom a retiring allowance is not paid under the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act (Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, chapter M-5) may, for as long as he is a member, increase the contribution provided in subsection 1 by paying an amount not exceeding his contributions to the retiring allowances plan provided in the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act.

In the case of a member who has ceased to hold one of the offices listed in paragraph b of section 85, the supplementary indemnity contemplated in this section shall be the annual amount of the highest indemnity received by him, as the holder of his office, at any time or during the course of any former session.

Such notice shall be given in accordance with a form supplied or approved by the Minister of Finance not later than twelve months after such person was elected a member.
Any member of the National Assembly elected before the 11th of July 1963 shall be entitled to have counted, for pension purposes, wholly or in part, the years prior to the 21st of February 1958 during which he was a member of that House, on giving for such purpose to the Minister of Finance of Québec the notice contemplated in this section and paying into the consolidated revenue fund an amount equal to the contributions that he would have had to provide if the provisions of this act had then been applicable to him.

98. (1)  When the additional contribution provided for in subsection 2 of section 87 has been paid, and subject, where applicable, to the provisions of section 97, the surviving consort, if not divorced, of a former member who was receiving a member’s pension or was entitled to it but died before beginning to receive it is entitled, from the death of such member and for life, to a pension equal to fifty per cent of that which her consort was receiving or was entitled to receive; such surviving consort is also entitled to receive 10% of her consort’s pension for each of the children of such former member dependent on such surviving consort and less than eighteen years of age or, if such child regularly attends an educational institution, less than twenty-one years of age, but he shall not so receive more than 40% of such pension for all such children dependent on him.

If the consort dies or if such former member dies and his consort has predeceased him or their marriage has been dissolved by divorce, each child of such former member who is less than eighteen years of age or, if he regularly attends an educational institution, is less than twenty-one years of age, is entitled to receive 15% of the total amount of such member’s contributions until he reaches the age of eighteen years or, if he regularly attends an educational institution, until he reaches the age of twenty-one years. However, not more than 60% of the total amount of such contributions shall be paid to all such children.
(3)  For the purposes of subsections 1 and 2 of this section, the expressions “dependent child” and “educational institution” shall have the meaning given them by resolution of the commissioners appointed under section 41.

1969, c. 11, s. 7; 1973, c. 10, s. 20.
100.

103.5. The total amount of contributions of a Member that serves as the basis for computing his pension in accordance with section 89 is equal to the total contributions that he has provided before 1 January 1983 adjusted annually, at the time prescribed under section 119 of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9), according to the rate of increase of the Pension Index determined by the said Act from 1984 until the time the pension becomes payable.

(1)  the pension recomputed under sections 89 and 103.5; or
(2)  the pension to which he would be entitled at that time if the payment of the pension had not ceased in accordance with section 96.
Computation of the pension is made without considering the effects of the election provided for in section 103.11.
1982, c. 66, s. 64.
103.7. For the purposes of the application of the second paragraph of section 90, the duties contemplated in paragraphs 13 and 14 of section 7 of the Act respecting the conditions of employment and the pension plan of the Members of the National Assembly (chapter C-52.1) are added to the duties contemplated in the second paragraph of section 90.

103.8. In the case of a Member who has exercised the right of redemption provided in section 94 or, where applicable, 95 before 31 December 1982 and who has not completed the payment of the redemption on that date, the total amount of contributions contemplated in section 103.5 includes redemption payments made after that date, excluding the interest that is part of such payments.

The pension of the surviving spouse is equal to the amount of the pension to which he is entitled, taking into account the adjustment resulting from the actuarial equivalence as established according to the criteria prescribed by regulation of the Office.
The election extinguishes the right to a pension provided for in section 98.

If the allowance is equal to or less than the pension, the pension is payable at the time that the Member entitled to it ceases to be a Member of the National Assembly, except if the beneficiary is 71 years of age or over.
The payment of the pension extinguishes the right to a transition allowance contemplated in the Act respecting the conditions of employment and the pension plan of the Members of the National Assembly that would have been payable at the time the Member ceases to be a Member of the Assembly, except if the beneficiary is 71 years of age or over.
1982, c. 66, s. 64; 1986, c. 114, s. 1; 1987, c. 109, s. 28.

103.15. A Member may pay an additional contribution of 2% for any period in which his contribution was 8% of his indemnity under subdivision 5.
Such additional contribution shall be computed on the indemnity that he was receiving at the time he paid the contribution of 8% and shall be deemed, for purposes of computing the pension, to be part of the total amount of his contributions paid on 1 January 1983.
The criteria, conditions and terms of payment of such additional contribution shall be established by regulation of the Office of the National Assembly.
Such a contribution may be repaid in accordance with sections 92 and 93.
1982, c. 66, s. 64.
103.16. For the purposes of the application of section 57 of the Act respecting the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan (chapter R-10), sections 51 and 52 of the Act respecting the Teachers Pension Plan (chapter R-11) and sections 84 and 85 of the Act respecting the Civil Service Superannuation Plan (chapter R-12), an officer, employee or teacher, as the case may be, is deemed to have begun to receive a pension under this Act or the Act respecting the conditions of employment and the pension plan of the Members of the National Assembly (chapter C-52.1) as soon as he ceases to be a Member of the National Assembly and as soon as he qualifies for the pension without regard to the payment of the transition allowance.
However, the contributions refunded under those sections must be remitted while the Member holds office.
1982, c. 66, s. 64; 1983, c. 24, s. 87.
103.17. A pension payable to a Member contemplated in section 103.1 or, as the case may be, to his surviving spouse and to his children is inalienable and unseizable.
