C-11 - Charter of the French language

Section 50.1 Disposition versions

2022-06-01

50.1. Where participants in a group covered by a group insurance contract are all workers having an employment relationship with one or more employers, the insurer is required to issue a copy of the policy drawn up in French to the client; the same applies to the insurance certificates that must be distributed to the workers.

If the policy is also drawn up in a language other than French, the right to examine and make copies of the policy, provided for in the second paragraph of article 2401 of the Civil Code, may be exercised for both the copy of the policy drawn up in French and the copy of the policy drawn up in the other language.

In the case of a discrepancy between the French version of those documents and the version in another language, a worker may invoke either one, according to his interests.

This section applies, with the necessary modifications, to a group annuity contract.
