33. At the beginning of each fiscal year of a pension plan, after, where applicable, any transfer provided for in section 35 or section 37, payment of a portion of the amortization payment determined for that fiscal year in relation to the technical actuarial deficiency is made by a transfer from the reserve to the general account. That portion is equal to the lesser of the reserve at that time and 50% of the amortization payment. It is divided equally between each monthly payment relating to the deficiency for the fiscal year.
Where a complete actuarial valuation of a plan at a date during a fiscal year establishes that the amount transferred from the reserve to the general account at the beginning of the fiscal year is less than what it should have been according to that actuarial valuation, the difference must be transferred from the reserve to the general account. If the amount transferred at the beginning of the fiscal year is greater than what it should have been according to that actuarial valuation, the difference must be transferred from the general account to the reserve.
A transfer provided for in the second paragraph is made on the day following the date of the actuarial valuation.
