(b) social assistance for Indians; or
(c) any other guaranteed annual income programme of general application in Québec.
The benefits contemplated in subparagraphs a to c of the first paragraph shall therefore be deducted from any payment of income security benefits contemplated in this Act and payable for the same period.
However, a beneficiary may at any time elect to receive the benefits contemplated in the said subparagraphs a to c, rather than the income security benefits.
