99. (1)  Where any deficiency in the amount realized from any assessment in any unit or class of units is caused by the failure of some of the employers in that unit or class of units to pay their share of the assessment or by any disaster or other circumstance which, in the opinion of the Commission, would unfairly burden the employers in that unit or class of units, the deficiency or loss may be made up by supplementary assessment upon the employers in all the classes of units and the provisions of section 97 shall apply to such assessment; the Commission may defer such supplementary assessing until the next annual assessment and then include in such annual assessment, the amount necessary to make up the deficiency.

(2)  The Commission, where it deems proper, may add to the assessment for any unit or class of units, a percentage or additional sum for the purpose of raising a special fund to be laid aside and used to meet the loss arising from any disaster or other circumstance which, in the opinion of the Commission, would unfairly burden the employers in any unit or class of units.

(3)  Where an employer employs a worker handicapped as a result of a previous accident, a congenital infirmity or a pathological condition, the Commission may charge all or part of the cost of expenditures and benefits respecting such accident to a special fund.

(4)  The Commission may add to the assessment for any or several units or all classes of units a percentage or additional sum in order to establish the special fund contemplated in subsection 3.

(5)  Where a worker is the victim of an accident occasioned totally or partly through the fault of an employer whose industry is subject to this Act, of an employee, servant or mandatary of such an employer or of a person driving an automobile within the meaning of the Automobile Insurance Act (chapter A-25), the Commission may charge all or part of the costs of expenditures and benefits respecting such accident, to a special fund, to the employer, to one or more units, or to all classes of units.
