Section 185
Disposition versions
185. Any final decision that, before the date of coming into force of this Act, rules on eligibility and grants a benefit under the Act to promote good citizenship (chapter C-20), as it read on the date preceding the date of coming into force of this Act, is maintained and any benefit is paid or continues to be paid in accordance with the provisions of that Act, for as long as its payment does not cease as a result of the application of those provisions.
Despite the first paragraph, if a benefit ceases to be paid as a result of the application of the Act to promote good citizenship, as it read on the date preceding the date of coming into force of this Act, and the need that led to payment of the benefit arises again after the date of coming into force of this Act, the plan under the provisions of the Act to promote good citizenship, as amended by this Act, then applies and the applicable financial assistance, if any, is the financial assistance under that Act.
Likewise, where the need of a person declared eligible for a benefit under the Act to promote good citizenship, as it read on the date preceding the date of coming into force of this Act, arises after the date of coming into force of this Act, the plan under the provisions of the Act to promote good citizenship, as amended by this Act, then applies and the applicable financial assistance, if any, is the financial assistance under that Act.
For the purposes of this section,
(1) a person declared eligible within the meaning of paragraph g of section 1 and section 2 of the Act to promote good citizenship, as it read on the date preceding the date of coming into force of this Act, is a rescuer within the meaning of section 1 and the first paragraph of section 2 of the Act to promote good citizenship, as amended by this Act; and
(2) a dependant declared eligible within the meaning of paragraph c of section 1 and section 2 of the Act to promote good citizenship, as it read on the date preceding the date of coming into force of this Act, is a child, spouse or dependant, as applicable, within the meaning of section 2 of the Act to promote good citizenship, as amended by this Act.
