Section 6

6. In this section, “CIA Standards” refers to the standards of practice entitled “Practice-Specific Standards for Pension Plans - 3500 Pension Commuted Values” of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries.
The actuarial value of benefits is determined by using the “distribution of benefits” method and corresponds to the sum of 75% of the actuarial value determined for a male and 25% of the actuarial value determined for a female.
The actuarial value is also determined by using the following actuarial assumptions:
(1) mortality rates:
The mortality rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standards.
(2) interest rates:
(a) the interest rates for fully-indexed benefits or non-indexed benefits are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standards;
(b) the interest rates for partially-indexed benefits 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 adjusted in accordance with the CIA Standards.
(3) indexing rate:
(a) for a benefit fully indexed according to the rate of increase in the Pension Index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA standards;
(b) for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the Pension Index “PI” over 3% or by half the rate of increase in the Pension Index, the indexing rate corresponds to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided for in subparagraph a over 3% or, as applicable, to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided for in that subparagraph.
In order to take inflation rate variations into account, the following additions are made to the results of effective indexing formulas for actuarial value computation purposes:
| Inflation level | Addition to result of PI – 3% formula | Adjusted indexing rate | Addition to result of 50% PI formula, min. PI – 3% | Adjusted indexing rate |

| 85-89 years | 55% | 10% |
| 90-109 years | 40% | 5% |
| 110 years | 0% | 0% |
(7) age difference between spouses at death:
(a) the male spouse of the Member is presumed to be 1 year older;
(b) the female spouse of the Member is presumed to be 6 years younger.
6. In this section, “CIA Standards” refers to the standards of practice entitled “Practice-Specific Standards for Pension Plans - 3800 Pension Commuted Values” of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, in force since 1 February 2005 and periodically revised.
The actuarial value of benefits is determined by using the “distribution of benefits” method and corresponds to the sum of 80% of the actuarial value determined for a male and 20% of the actuarial value determined for a female.
The actuarial value is also determined by using the following actuarial assumptions:
(1) mortality rates:
The mortality rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standards.
(2) interest rates:
(a) the interest rates for fully-indexed benefits or non-indexed benefits are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standards;
(b) the interest rates for partially-indexed benefits 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 adjusted in accordance with the CIA Standards.
(3) indexing rate:
(a) for a benefit fully indexed according to the rate of increase in the Pension Index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA standards;
(b) for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the Pension Index “PI” over 3% or by half the rate of increase in the Pension Index, the indexing rate corresponds to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided for in subparagraph a over 3% or, as applicable, to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided for in that subparagraph.
