63.1. Despite section 62, 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 or her pension application but before the 31st day following the date of the notice from Retraite Québec inviting the pensioner to express his or her will regarding the election provided for in section 63 and before Retraite Québec receives the expression of his or her will regarding the election provided for in section 63.
