180. The Comité de retraite shall deal with the request for reexamination without delay and notify the applicant in writing of its decision.
The decision must give reasons.
However, where no decision is made because opinions are equally divided, the decision of the Commission is deemed to be maintained and the request for reexamination shall be referred for a decision to the arbitrator or to the Commission des affaires sociales, according to the cases set out in section 181.
The Comité de retraite shall notify the parties without delay, and the provisions applicable to an application for arbitration or appeal, as the case may be, apply with the necessary changes. The committee shall send the employee’s or beneficiary’s request for reexamination to the arbitrator or the Commission des affaires sociales, within the time prescribed in such provisions, and in the case of an appeal the request constitutes the written declaration required under section 32 of the Act respecting the Commission des affaires sociales (chapter C-34).
