Section 68 Disposition versions

2021-10-13

68. If the circumstances surrounding the commission of a criminal offence give rise to the application of both the Automobile Insurance Act (chapter A-25) and this Act, the person must choose the application of the whole of either one plan or the other. That choice must be made in accordance with a government regulation.

If the circumstances surrounding the commission of a criminal offence give rise to the application of the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases (chapter A-3.001), the person who is a victim must file an application for compensation under that Act.

If a person is declared eligible for an indemnity, benefit or other pecuniary advantage under the Automobile Insurance Act or the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases, that eligibility makes them ineligible for any financial assistance under this Title.

If financial assistance is granted under the Individual and Family Assistance Act (chapter A-13.1.1), it is not considered assistance paid under another public plan for the purposes of this section and sections 55, 58, 60, 62 and 64. In addition, at the request of the Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Solidarity, any amount repayable under section 90 of the Individual and Family Assistance Act is deducted from the financial assistance paid under this Title and remitted to that minister.

If the circumstances surrounding the commission of a criminal offence give rise to the application of the Act respecting the conservation and development of wildlife (chapter C-61.1) and a person who is a victim receives an indemnity under section 79 of that Act, that indemnity is deducted from the financial assistance paid to that person under this Title.

If a person who is a victim is already receiving financial assistance or an indemnity, benefit or other pecuniary advantage under this Title or under any of the compensation plans provided for in the Automobile Insurance Act or the Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases and is eligible, with regard to other circumstances, for financial assistance or an indemnity, benefit or other pecuniary advantage under another of those plans, the decision under those plans must be rendered jointly and must distinguish between the financial assistance, indemnity, benefit or other pecuniary advantage payable under each of the Acts concerned by those plans.
