21.4.11. If an elector made a particular valid election under the particular provision before 20 December 2006 in relation to any subject (in this section referred to as the “subject of an election made for Québec purposes”), the following rules apply:

(a)  if subsection 3.2 of section 220 of the Income Tax Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. 1 (5th Suppl.)) applies, in relation to the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, to the provision of that Act (in this subparagraph referred to as the “corresponding provision”) to which the particular provision refers, if section 21.4.8 does not apply and if the elector made, in relation to the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, a valid election under the corresponding provision before 20 December 2006 that has not been rescinded before that date as a consequence of the application of that subsection 3.2, or the elector did not make such an election or made such an election that was thus rescinded before that date,

i.  the Minister may allow that the particular provision, as it reads on 20 December 2006 and not as it read before that date, apply in respect of the subject of an election made for Québec purposes as if the election made for the purposes of the Income Tax Act that was not rescinded had been made on 20 December 2006, or that the particular valid election be revoked in any other case, if

(1)  the period within which, in relation to the subject of an election made for Québec purposes, the election under the particular provision was to be made, as the particular provision read before 20 December 2006, would have ended on or before a particular day of any of the elector’s taxation years or fiscal periods, as the case may be, and

(2)  the elector files an application with the Minister in that respect on or before the day that is 10 calendar years after the end of the taxation year or fiscal period, and, for that purpose, section 603 applies, with the necessary modifications, in respect of that application if the particular provision was referred to in section 603, as that section read on 19 December 2006, and

ii.  if the Minister grants the application filed under subparagraph i,

(1)  the elector incurs a penalty equal to $100 for each complete month included in the period beginning on the day on or before which the election under the corresponding provision in relation to the subject of an election made for Québec purposes was required to have been made and ending on the day on which the application is filed, up to $5,000, and

(2)  the particular valid election is deemed never to have been made;

ii.  in the case of section 985.3, the Minister may revoke the particular valid election from the particular date referred to in subparagraph c of the third paragraph; and
