17. Retraite Québec must transfer the sums awarded to the spouse into an annuity contract, locked-in retirement account or life income fund where those sums come from an entitlement to a retirement pension, a deferred retirement pension or a pension credit.
However, Retraite Québec must transfer those sums into a registered retirement savings plan or registered retirement income fund where those sums come from an entitlement to a refund of contributions or, upon application by the spouse, must transfer those sums into an annuity contract, locked-in retirement account or life income fund.
Despite the foregoing, those sums must be paid to the spouse’s successors in case of the spouse’s death.
