AN ACT RESPECTING THE ABOLITION OF COMPULSORY RETIREMENT AND PROVIDING AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN LEGISLATION Bill No.15 Introduced by Mr.Denis Lazure First reading : 9 December 1981 Second reading: 4 March 1982 Third reading: 25 March 1982 Assented to: 1 April 1982 Coming into force: 1 April 1982 Acts amended: Act respecting labour standards (1979, chapter 45) Act respecting supplemental pension plans (R.S.Q., chapter R-17) Éditeur officiel Quebec 1332 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC.May 5.1982.Vol.114.No.21 Part 2 explanatory notes The object of this bill is to abolish compulsory retirement.While preserving the employee's right to retire voluntarily at no)-mal retirement age, this bill entitles him to remain at work despite his reaching that age.The Act respecting labour standards is amended to take this into account.This new right applies equally to the employee who belongs-to a private or public retirement plan atui to the employee who does not belong to any retirement plan.This bill provides, further, that an employee may appeal to a labour commissioner if he believes he has been dismissed, suspended or retired because he has reached retirement age.This appeal is to be made according to the rules in the Labour Code, but the time limit for appeal will then be ninety days.In addition, this bill enables the employee to choose the time he will begin to receive his pension.He may receive it as soon as he becomes eligible for retirement, if he ceases to work.If he elects to continue working, payment of the pension will be delayed and the pension will be revalorized at the time he retires.If an employee chooses to remain at work beyond normal retirement age and his salary is decreased, he will be able to collect part or the whole of his pension to compensate for the decrease.The Act will apply from the day of its sanction to all employees.However, for employees who have a retirement plan, the Act will apply at the expiry of their collective agreement.The Government will have the power to exempt, by regulation, certain employees or employers from the application of the Act.The Minister of Labour, Manpower and Income Security will be required to assess the effects of the Act and table his findings in the National Assembly.

and agencies and to every employee or employer.\" 2.The said Act is amended by inserting, after section 84, the following division: \"DIVISION VI.1 \"retirement \"84.1 An employee is entitled to continue to work notwithstanding the fact that he has reached or passed the age or number of years of service at which he should retire-pursuant to a general law or special Act applicable to him, pursuant to the retirement plan to which he contributes, pursuant to the collective agreement, the arbitration award in lieu thereof or the decree governing him, or pursuant to the common practice of his employer.However, and subject to section 122.1, such right does not prevent an employer or his agent from dismissing, suspending or transferring such an employee for good and sufficient cause.\" 3.The said Act is amended by inserting, after section 90, the following section:_ 1334 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC.May 5.1982.Vol.114.No.21 Part 2 \u2022\u202290.1 The Government may, by regulation,

six months prior to the date on which it is made.\" 4.Section 102 of the said Act is amended by replacing the first paragraph by the following paragraph: \"102.Subject to sections 123 and 123.1.an employee who believes that one of his rights under this Act or a regulation has been violated may file a complaint in writing with the Commission.\" 5.Section 122 of the said Act, amended by section 10 of chapter 5 of the statutes of 1980, is again amended by replacing subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph by the following subparagraph: \"( 1 ) on the ground that such employee has exercised one of his rights, other than the right contemplated in section 84.1, under this Act or a regulation;\".6.The said Act is amended by inserting, after section 122, the following section: \"122.1 No employer or his agent may dismiss, suspend or retire an employee on the ground that he has reached or passed the age or the number of years of service at which he should retire pursuant to a general law or special Act applicable to him, pursuant to the retirement plan to which he contributes, pursuant to the collective agreement, the arbitration award in lieu thereof or the decree governing him, or pursuant to the common practice of his employer.\".7.The said Act is amended by inserting, after section 123, the following section: \"123.1 Section 123 applies to every employee who believes that he has been dismissed, suspended or retired on the ground set forth in section 122.1.However, the time limit to file a complaint with the labour commissioner-general is then increased to ninety days.\" 8.The Act respecting supplemental pension plans (R.S.Q., chapter R-17) is amended by inserting, after section 44, the following division: Part 2 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC, May 5, 1982.Vol.114.No.21 1335 \"DIVISION V.l \"DELAYED RETIREMENT \"44.1 Subject to section 44.2, payment of the pension to the employee is delayed when, after normal retirement age, he continues to work for the employer for whom he was working at that age.Delay of payment of the pension may take place as long as a supplemental plan is able to comply with this division while remaining a registered retirement plan within the meaning of section 1 of the Taxation Act (R.S.Q., chapter 1-3).However, such delay ends upon the employee's ceasing all work for his employer.\"44.2 During the delay, an employee may require the payment of his pension, in whole or in part, but only to the extent necessary to compensate a reduction of salary or wages incurred during that period.In no case may an employee apply under this section more than once within a twelve-month period except by agreement with the administrator of the supplemental plan.However, after an agreement with his employer, and if the supplemental plan provides therefor, an employee may receive the whole or a part of the pension irrespective of the restriction provided in the first paragraph.\"44.3 In the case of a delayed payment of a pension in whole or in part, any amount of the pension that is not paid during the delay must be revalorized when every delay has terminated.Every supplemental plan must provide how the revalorization is to be effected.\"44.4 The revalorization contemplated in section 44.3 must provide that the amount of the pension becoming payable at the end of the delay be the amount of a pension actuarially equivalent to (a) the pension that would have begun to be paid at normal retirement age had its payment not been delayed; or, (6) in the case of a pension whose payment was delayed before the effective date of this section, the pension that would have been payable on that date had its payment begun at that time.In no case may such revalorization create only surpluses in the fund of the supplemental plan.Nor may it create only deficits therein. 1336 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC.May 5.1982.Vol.114.No.21 Part 2 \"44.5 If contributions are made during the delay, the additional pension arising therefrom must be at least ea.ual in value to the pension that would arise at the end of the delay from the contributions made by the employee during the delay.\"44.6 If an employee whose payment of pension was delayed, in whole or in part, dies during the delay, the payment of the unpaid amount of the pension is deemed to have begun on the day preceding his death.\" 9.Section 75 of the said Act is amended by adding, after paragraph u, the following paragraphs: \"(v) what is permitted, mandatory or prohibited in effecting the revalorization contemplated in Division v.i; \"(w) what constitutes salary or wages, how to establish them and the periods for which they are computed, for the purposes of section 44.2.\" 10.The amendments necessary to bring into conformity with this Act a retirement plan existing or in force on 1 April 1982 and to which the Act respecting supplemental pension plans applies must be presented to the Régie des rentes du Québec before 1 October 1982.11.Notwithstanding section 10, if a retirement plan contemplated in that section concerns employees governed, as the case may be, by a collective agreement within the meaning of the Labour Code (R.S.Q., chapter C-27) or within the meaning of the Act respecting labour relations in the construction industry (R.S.Q., chapter R-20), by an arbitration award in lieu thereof or by a decree within

signature of a new collective agreement, of the rendering of the arbitration award in lieu thereof, of the extension or renewal of the decree or of the coming into force of a decree replacing the expired decree.12.On being approved in accordance with the Act respecting supplemental pension plans, the amendments contemplated in sections 10 and 11 are deemed to have effect, (l)'in the case of section 10, from 1 April 1982; (2) in the case of section 11, Part 2 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC, May 5, 1982, Vol: 114, No.21 1337 (a) in respect of employees governed, as the case may be, by a

Part 2 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC.May 5.1982.Vol.114.No.21 1341 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF QUÉBEC Thirty-second Legislature, Third session 1982, chapter 13 AN ACT RESPECTING PUBLIC AGRICULTURAL LANDS Bill No.49 Introduced by Mr.Jean Garon First reading: 4 March 1982 Second reading: 18 March 1982 Third reading: 8 April 1982 Assented to: 8 April 1982 Coming into force by proclamation of the Government Acts amended: Act respecting the Ministère de l'agriculture, des pêcheries et de l'alimentation (R.S.Q.chapter M-14) Lands and Forests Act (R.S.Q., chapter T-9) Act replaced: Colonization Land Sales Act (R.S.Q.chapter T-8) Acts repealed: Act respecting the acquisition of colonization lands (R.S.Q., chapter A-4) Colonization Societies Act (R.S., 1964, chapter 104) Pioneering Merit Act (R.S., 1964, chapter 107) Settlers Protection Act (R.S.Q., chapter P-38) Éditeur officiel Québec 1342 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC.May 5.1982.Vol.114, No.21 Part 2 explanatory notes This bill consolidates the legislation dealing with colonization lands and replaces the Colonization Land Sales Act, the Act respecting the acquisition of colonization lands, the Colonization Societies Act, the Settlers Protection Act and the Pioneering Merit Act.The main intent of the bill is to modernize and simplify the administration of public laiids under the authority of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.It is designed to confirm acquired rights of holders of land under location tickets and facilitate the issue of letters patent.Certain exceptional situations are regularized: henceforth it will be possible to issue letters patent for lands granted between 1820 and 1830 in the Baie des Chaleurs area by James Crawford who pretended to be a)i authorized agent of the Croivn Lands Commissioner, and easier to issue letters patent for lands granted without right by federal authority by way of location tickets or by letters patent in the territory of former Indian reserves (Nédelec, Ouiatch-ouan) between 1900 and 1920, whereas that territory is part of the territory of Québec under the Canadian constitution.As the validity of a great number of letters patent resulting from dubious administrative practices and various litigious orders in council could be questioned, all existing letters patent are validated by the bill to provide clear titles of ownership to lands granted by the Government.However, it provides that these letters patent may be cancelled by the courts if they were obtained fraudulently.The Minister will be empowered, despite the validation, to rectify letters patent containing clerical etrors, incorrect descriptions of areas or mistakes in names.In order to simplify the administration of agricultural public lands, this bill sets up a simple scheme for the sale or leasing of land for agricultural, maritime fisheries or food purposes.Under the scheme, sales will be madedirectly, without the intermediary of the location tickets.Furthermore, there will be no need to apply to the Part 2 GAZETTE OFFICIELLE DU QUÉBEC.May 5.1982.Vol.114.No.21 _1343 Lieutenant Governor and to the Attorney General to obtain letters patent, as they will henceforth be issued by the Minister.Finally, the bill enables the Minister to regularize the situation of certain persons ( squatters) who occupy public agricultural lands without having a title.This measure applies only to persons occupying such land at the coming into force of the Act and to their assignees.
