42. The stabilization fund is to be funded by a stabilization contribution which represents at least 10% of the current service contribution, determined without taking into account any margin for adverse deviation provided for by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, of accrued interest and actuarial gains determined in accordance with section 36. The plan must indicate whether the stabilization contributions are paid either by the employer, active members, or both and, where applicable, indicate the higher proportion of the stabilization contributions.
The target level of the stabilization fund must be at least equal to the provision for adverse deviation of the subsequent component established in accordance with the provisions of sections 14 to 16. In addition, stabilization contributions can cease to be paid, as provided for in the plan, once the level of the stabilization fund has reached the level of the provision for adverse deviation.
The stabilization contributions made by members are separate from the member or voluntary contributions referred to in section 37 of the Act.
