10.1. For the purposes of this section, “CIA Standard” means the Standard of Practice for Determining Pension Commuted Values confirmed by the board of directors of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries on 15 June 2004.
The actuarial values of the benefits referred to in sections 138.1 and 138.7 of the Act are determined using the following actuarial method and assumptions:
Actuarial method
The actuarial method is the “projected benefit method” pro rated on service.
In the case of section 138.1, the pensionable salary of the pension plans involved in the transfer is the salary that is taken into account to determine the average pensionable salary used to calculate the pension.
Actuarial assumptions
(1)  Mortality rates:
The mortality rates are determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.
(2)  Interest rates:
For fully-indexed and non-indexed benefits:
The interest rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.
For partially indexed benefits:
The interest rates 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 rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.25%.
(3)  Indexing rate:
(a)  for a fully-indexed benefit according to the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA Standard;
(b)  for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the pension index (PI) over 3% or to half of the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate corresponds respectively to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in subparagraph a over 3% or to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in that subparagraph.
In order to take into account the inflation rate variations, the following additions are made to the results of effective indexing formulas for actuarial value computation purposes.

(7)  Age of spouse at retirement:
— the male spouse of the member is assumed to be 2 years older;
— the female spouse of the member is assumed to be 3 years younger;
(8)  Rate of increase of the MPE:
The annual increase in the maximum pensionable earnings within the meaning of the Québec Pension Plan corresponds to the annual rate of inflation plus 1%.
(9)  Rate of increase of salaries
The annual increase in salaries corresponds to the annual increase of the MPE, increased by the annual rate of salary increase.

(12)  Reduction for early retirement:
The pension under the Pension Plan of Peace Officers in Correctional Services used to determine the actuarial value of the benefits of that plan is reduced by 1/3 of 1% per month computed for each month comprised between the date on which the actuarial value is determined and the first date on which a pension could have been paid to the member without reduction under than plan.
T.B. 203095, s. 3; T.B. 206317, s. 1; T.B. 208549, s. 6; T.B. 221071, s. 1.
10.1. The actuarial values of the benefits referred to in sections 138.1 and 138.7 of the Act are determined using the following actuarial method and assumptions:
Actuarial method
The actuarial method is the “projected benefit method” pro rated on service.
In the case of section 138.1, the pensionable salary of the pension plans involved in the transfer is the salary that is taken into account to determine the average pensionable salary used to calculate the pension.
Actuarial assumptions
(1)  Mortality rates:
The mortality rates are determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.
(2)  Interest rates:
For fully-indexed and non-indexed benefits:
The interest rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.
For partially indexed benefits:
The interest rates 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 rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.25%.
(3)  Indexing rate:
(a)  for a fully-indexed benefit according to the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA Standard;
(b)  for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the pension index (PI) over 3% or to half of the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate corresponds respectively to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in subparagraph a over 3% or to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in that subparagraph.
In order to take into account the inflation rate variations, the following additions are made to the results of effective indexing formulas for actuarial value computation purposes.

(4)  Turnover rate: Nil
(5)  Disability rate: Nil
(6)  Proportion of employees with a spouse at retirement:
Males: 85%
Females: 60%
(7)  Age of spouse at retirement:
— the male spouse of the member is assumed to be 2 years older;
— the female spouse of the member is assumed to be 3 years younger;
(8)  Rate of increase of the MPE:
The annual increase in the maximum pensionable earnings within the meaning of the Québec Pension Plan corresponds to the annual rate of inflation plus 1%.
(9)  Rate of increase of salaries:
The annual increase in salaries corresponds to the annual increase of the MPE, increased by the annual rate of salary increase.

(10)  Rate of increase in the Tax Act defined benefit limit:
The annual increase of Tax Act defined benefit limits corresponds to that of the maximum pensionable earnings as of each year of the indexing of that limit, in accordance with the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)).
(11)  Retirement age
For the purposes of section 138.1 of the Act, the retirement age is the age on the date on which membership ceases as determined pursuant to section 8.7 of the Act respecting the Pension Plan of Peace Officers in Correctional Services (chapter R-9.2).
For the purposes of section 138.7 of the Act, retirement is determined according to the following retirement rates:
