420. A federation may, by by-law, establish a separate fund to purchase capital shares or investment shares issued by credit unions.
The fund may also be used to purchase capital shares or investment shares already issued by the federation to a member described in subparagraph 4 of the first paragraph of section 46. Shares so purchased cannot be resold except to a member described in that subparagraph.
The by-law may in addition(1) prescribe the conditions and method of operation of such a fund;
(2) fix for each fiscal year of the fund the assessment that each credit union must pay into the fund, or the method for calculating such assessment.
