288.1.1. An employer may, upon providing the pension committee with a letter of credit, be relieved of paying a portion of the contribution required under sections 39 and 140. The employer contribution that the employer must pay into the pension fund is reduced accordingly.

The portion of the employer contribution of which an employer may be relieved may not exceed an amount corresponding to the amount obtained by multiplying by 20% the difference, established at the date of the last complete actuarial valuation, between the assets and liabilities of the fund, determined on a solvency basis.

The form, terms and conditions of the letter of credit referred to in the first paragraph must comply with the rules prescribed for the purposes of the Act respecting the funding of certain pension plans (2005, chapter 25), which apply with the necessary modifications.

A letter of credit provided by the employer under the first paragraph forms part of the assets of the plan for the purpose of determining its solvency. However, the amount of the letter, or the total amount of such letters, is taken into account for that purpose only up to 15% of the value of the liabilities of the plan.

This section ceases to have effect on 31 December 2009.

2008, c. 21, s. 23.
