Section 4.1 Disposition versions

2022-06-08

4.1. Persons qualify as independent persons if, in the opinion of the board of directors, they have no direct or indirect relation or interest, for example of a financial, commercial, professional or philanthropic nature, that might compromise their judgment as regards the interests of the Fund.

A person is deemed not to be independent if that person

(1)  is, or was in the three years prior to being elected or appointed,

(a)  an employee or officer of the Fund or one of its subsidiaries, except if the person is an officer solely because the person is a member of the Fund’s or subsidiary’s board of directors; or

(b)  an employee, officer or director of the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec or of a union or other body that, under its articles, is affiliated with it; or

(2)  has an immediate family member who is an officer of the Fund or of an employer referred to in subparagraph 1.

The board shall adopt a policy to determine whether a person in a situation submitted to it qualifies as an independent person.

“Officer” and “subsidiary” have the meanings assigned to them by the Securities Act (chapter V-1.1). In addition, a person’s immediate family members are the person’s spouse, father, mother or parent, child, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, or any other person who shares that person’s dwelling, except an employee of that person.

2015, c. 8, s. 322; 2016, c. 7, s. 182; 2022, c. 22, s. 234.
