Section 12.1
Disposition versions
12.1. The actuarial values of the benefits referred to in sections 43.2, 46.1, 53, 54 and 79 of the Act are determined, taking into account sections 12.2 to 12.2.3, using the following actuarial assumptions:
(1) Mortality rates:
The mortality rates are those taken from the mortality table promulgated by the Actuarial Standards Board of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, whose date of coming into force is 1 October 2015.
(2) Interest rates:
The interest rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard. The result must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.10%.
(3) Indexing rate:
(a) for a fully-indexed benefit according to the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA Standard;
(b) for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the pension index (PI) over 3% or to half of the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate corresponds respectively to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in subparagraph a over 3% or to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in that subparagraph.
In order to take into account the inflation rate variations, the following additions are made to the results of effective indexing formulas for actuarial value computation purposes.
| Inflation level | Addition to the result of the PI-3% formula | Adjusted indexing rate | Addition to the result of the 50% PI, min. PI-3% formula | Adjusted indexing rate |
| 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.20 | 0.20 |
| 0.5 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.10 | 0.35 |

| 3.5 | 0.20 | 0.70 | 0.00 | 1.75 |
| 4.0 | 0.10 | 1.10 | 0.00 | 2.00 |
| 4.5 | 0.05 | 1.55 | 0.00 | 2.25 |
The result must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.10%.
(4) Turnover rate: Nil
(5) Disability rate: Nil

12.1. The actuarial values of the benefits referred to in sections 43.2, 46.1, 53, 54 and 79 of the Act are determined, taking into account sections 12.2 to 12.2.3, using the following actuarial assumptions:
(1) Mortality rates:
The mortality rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.
(2) Interest rates:
For fully-indexed and non-indexed benefits:
The interest rates are those determined in accordance with the CIA Standard.
For partially-indexed benefits:
The interest rates are those determined according to the following formula:
((1 + interest rate for a non-indexed benefit) / (1 + indexing rate for a partially-indexed benefit)) - 1
The result must be rounded to the nearest multiple of 0.25%.
(3) Indexing rate:
(a) for a fully-indexed benefit according to the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate is computed in the manner described in the CIA Standard;
(b) for a benefit indexed according to the excess of the rate of increase in the pension index (PI) over 3% or to half of the rate of increase in the pension index, the indexing rate corresponds respectively to the excess of the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in subparagraph a over 3% or to half the indexing rate computed in the manner provided in that subparagraph.
