In such a case, the adopter is only entitled, as of the 31st day of the child’s stay outside the adopter’s residence, to a daily amount of $19.33, adjusted on 1 January of each year in accordance with the Pension Index established in accordance with section 117 of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9), less the amounts, that are reasonably attributable to the child, to which the adopter and the adopter’s spouse are entitled, on a daily basis, as the family allowance provided for in section 1029.8.61.18 of the Taxation Act (chapter I-3) and the Canada child benefit provided for in section 122.61 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)). Financial assistance is entirely granted again as of the date on which the child returns living with the adopter.
For the purposes of the second paragraph, the adopter’s spouse is his or her “cohabiting spouse” according to the definition of that expression provided for in section 1029.8.61.8 of the Taxation Act, or his or her “cohabiting spouse or common-law partner” according to the definition provided for in section 122.6 of the Income Tax Act. In addition, the adopter is subject to the requirement provided for in the second paragraph of section 13 of this Regulation.
