1. A person who, for the purposes of the payment of the benefits provided for in the Act respecting parental insurance (chapter A-29.011), requests that the Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity determine the average of the person’s insurable earnings on the basis of a period of not more than 26 consecutive weeks preceding the beginning of the person’s qualifying period, pursuant to the first paragraph of section 102 of the Act, excluding the weeks where insurable earnings are below $225, must meet the conditions set out in section 24.2 of the Employment Insurance Regulations (SOR/96-332) in order for that method of calculation of the rate of weekly benefits to apply.

The amount of the benefits established under sections 18 and 21 of the Act respecting parental insurance and the Regulation under the Act respecting parental insurance (chapter A-29.011, r. 2), is then increased by any amount necessary to enable the person to receive the equivalent of the aggregate amount of benefits to which the person would have been entitled under section 24.2 of the Employment Insurance Regulations.
