(2) for the purposes of every classification of industries and employers’ assessment carried out for a year prior to 1986, subject to sections 580 and 581 of chapter A-3.001;

(3) for the purposes of the application of the Act to promote good citizenship (chapter C-20) and the Crime Victims Compensation Act (chapter I-6).

1. Subject to conditions determined by the Government, under the law, the new rescue stations shall be organized by the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources, which shall provide for their equipment, their maintenance, in the same way as for the stations presently in existence, and for the maintenance of the personnel necessary for their adequate operation.

2. The Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail will assume the cost of disbursements to be incurred by the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources for the establishment of new rescue stations, their annual maintenance as well as the maintenance of stations presently existing, in conformity with the provisions hereinafter.
