COMPONENTS OF A PENSION PLAN
1
.
A pension plan referred to in Appendix A is comprised of 2 or 3 components, that is, a current component and 1 or 2 past components.
The liabilities of the current component of a pension plan correspond to the portion of the liabilities of the plan related to obligations arising from services rendered as of the date of coming into force of the plan.
The past component of a pension plan means a component whose liabilities are related to credited service under a pension plan which has been terminated. The pension plans that have been terminated are referred to in Appendix B.
The pension plan designated by number 32198 has only one past component.
The pension plans designated by numbers 32197 and 32199 have 2 past components. The liabilities of the past component referred to as the “past component for the retirees” is the portion of the liabilities of the plan related to the members and beneficiaries of that plan to whom a pension was being paid prior to 13 September 2012 by a terminated pension plan. The liabilities of the past component referred to as the “past component of the other members” correspond to the balance of the liabilities of the plan related to credited service under a terminated pension plan.
The pension fund of a pension plan is divided into as many distinct accounts as the number of components in the plan.
O.C. 1025-2013, s. 1
.
2
.
At the effective date of a pension plan referred to in Appendix A, the assets of a past component of a plan correspond, for the purpose of determining its solvency and funding, to the value of the amounts to be transferred to the component further to the termination of a pension plan referred to in Appendix B.
O.C. 1025-2013, s. 2
.
3
.
For the purposes of section 39, Chapters X (Solvency and funding), X.1 (Appropriation of surplus assets) and XII (Division and merger), Division II of Chapter XI (Investments) and Chapter XIII (Rights of members and beneficiaries on winding-up) of the Supplemental Pension Plans Act (chapter R-15.1), the liabilities of a component and the corresponding account of the pension fund are considered to be separate from the liabilities and corresponding account of any other component.
However, where a pension plan has only one past component, the surplus assets of that component may be appropriated to the payment of employer contributions of the current component of the plan.

EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION TO A PAST COMPONENT
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.1
.
Notwithstanding section 39 of the Act, the employer contribution that an employer must pay into the account of a past component of a pension plan referred to in Appendix A for a fiscal year ending no later than 31 December 2022 corresponds to the total of the amortization payment relating to the discounted projected actuarial deficiency and the special amortization payments payable during the fiscal year.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
§

. —
Amortization payment relating to the discounted projected actuarial deficiency
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.2
.
The amortization payment relating to the actuarial deficiency of a past component of a pension plan is determined based on the discounted projected actuarial deficiency of the component.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.3
.
Notwithstanding section 142 of the Act, for the purpose of the actuarial valuation as at 13 September 2012 and subsequent valuations for the 2013 to 2017 fiscal years, the amortization period for the discounted projected actuarial deficiency of a past component of a pension plan begins on the date of the actuarial valuation on which it is determined and ends on the fiscal year end date of the tenth year following that valuation.
In the case of actuarial valuations for subsequent fiscal years, the amortization period ends on 31 December 2027.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.4
.
The projected actuarial deficiency and the amortization payment relating to the discounted projected actuarial deficiency are determined according to whether the target degrees of solvency prescribed below are achieved on the following dates:
(
1
)
85% as at 31 December 2022 for the actuarial valuation as at 13 September 2012;
(
2
)
88% as at 31 December 2023 for the actuarial valuation for the 2013 fiscal year;
(
3
)
91% as at 31 December 2024 for the actuarial valuation for the 2014 fiscal year;
(
4
)
94% as at 31 December 2025 for the actuarial valuation for the 2015 fiscal year;
(
5
)
97% as at 31 December 2026 for the actuarial valuation for the 2016 fiscal year;
(
6
)
100% as at 31 December 2027 for the subsequent actuarial valuations.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.5
.
The discounted projected actuarial deficiency corresponds to the value of the projected actuarial deficiency at the end date of the projection, discounted at a rate of 5.5% on the date of the actuarial valuation.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.6
.
At the date of an actuarial valuation of a past component of a pension plan, the projected liabilities as at the end date of the projection are obtained by assuming that, between the date of the valuation and the end date, with regard to solvency liabilities for the affected component as at the date of the valuation, contingencies based on actuarial assumptions as to survival, morbidity, mortality, employee turnover, eligibility for benefits or other factors will occur and by assuming that termination of the plan will occur at the end date of the projection. The actuarial assumptions and methods used shall be consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles and must be suited, in particular, to the type of plan concerned, its obligations and the position of the account of the affected component of the pension plan.
Moreover, the projected liabilities at the end date of the projection are determined using the assumptions for hypothetical wind-up and solvency valuations established by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, with regard to the benefits of the members and beneficiaries whose pension would be in payment on that date. For the benefits of the other members and beneficiaries, they are determined in accordance with the assumptions and rules referred to in section 67.4 of the Regulation respecting supplemental pension plans (R-15.1, r. 6). The applicable rules are those that apply on the date of the actuarial valuation.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.7
.
At the date of the actuarial valuation of a past component of a pension plan, the projected assets as at the date of the end of the projection include the special amortization payments provided for in subdivision 2 to be paid into the plan until that date.
Furthermore, the projected assets of the past component at the date of the end of the projection are obtained on the basis of the market value of the assets of that component at the date of the valuation by assuming that no contributions are made between the date of the valuation and the end date, with the exception of the contribution provided for in section 3.9, and by assuming an annual interest rate of 5.5%. That value is adjusted to take into consideration the benefits and other amounts to be paid during that period, assuming the contingencies in the first paragraph of section 3.6 will occur.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.8
.
The monthly amortization payments relating to the discounted projected actuarial deficiency of the past component are determined assuming a 5.5% interest rate.
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
§
2
. —
Special amortization payment
O.C. 1309-2013, s. 1
.
3.9
.
Notwithstanding section 132 of the Act, where, further to an amendment, other than an amendment referred to in section 4, made after 13 September 2012, but before 31 December 2022 with regard to the component in question, an actuarial valuation determines the value of additional obligations of that component, a special amortization payment is determined.
The payment corresponds to the higher of the value of the additional obligations determined on a solvency basis or their value determined on a funding basis.
The special amortization payment shall be made as soon as the report on the first actuarial valuation to take the amendment into consideration is sent to Retraite Québec. To such payment shall be added accrued interest, if any, from the date of the valuation, calculated at the rate referred to in section 48 of the Act.
For the purposes of the Act, the special amortization payment is considered the special amortization payment provided for in section 132 of the Act.

(
5

the additional benefits related to early retirement are described in detail in the copy of the plan text that accompanies the application for registration of the pension plan submitted to Retraite Québec.
