R-15.1, r. 4.1 - Regulation providing new relief measures for the funding of solvency deficiencies of pension plans in the private sector

Section 4 Disposition versions

2013-12-31

4. Where instructions were given to apply the relief measure provided for under paragraph 1 of section 3, the asset valuation method on a solvency basis must include the taking into account of the short-term fluctuations in the market value of the assets during the reference period fixed in the instructions. That period cannot exceed 5 years.

However, where instructions were previously given under paragraph 1 of section 2 of the Regulation providing temporary relief measures for the funding of solvency deficiencies (chapter R-15.1, r. 3.1), the valuation method must remain the same as the method indicated in those instructions.

Notwithstanding the first paragraph of section 123 of the Act, the assets of the pension plan must be established in accordance with the asset valuation method indicated in the instructions, except when determining the degree of solvency of the plan, for the purposes of the first actuarial valuation after 30 December 2013 and subsequent actuarial valuations.
