Despite section 43, the spouse of a pensioner is entitled to receive a pension equal to the one established in accordance with the second paragraph of this section, if the pensioner dies after Retraite Québec receives his pension application but before the 31st day following the date of the notice from Retraite Québec inviting him to express his will regarding the election provided for in section 43.1 and before Retraite Québec receives the expression of his will regarding the election provided for in section 43.1.
