41. (1)  The sums payable under subsection 1 of section 35, subsections 1 and 2 of section 38, sections 39 and 40, the amount provided for in subsection 3 of section 38 and the minimum amounts established in Schedule C must be revalorized each year, in such manner and time as are prescribed in accordance with section 119 of the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9) for the adjustment of the benefits payable under the said Act, so that the amount payable for a month in any year following the first is equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount that would have been otherwise payable for that month by the ratio that the Pension Index for that following year bears to the Pension Index for the year preceding that following year.

Where the worker dies by reason of an accident or an occupational disease after a period of disability resulting from that accident or that disease, the Commission must, to fix the indemnity provided for in subsection 1 of section 35, if the income of the worker at the time of his death is less than that used as the basis of establishment of the prior indemnity, revalorize, in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the income of the worker which served as the basis of establishment of the prior indemnity.

(2)  The revalorization provided for in subsection 1 shall apply to the amounts payable after 1 January 1970.

(3)  The obligation to pay the increase in the sum resulting from the revalorization shall devolve upon the accident fund or the employer in the same manner as the obligation to pay the compensation.
