44 (1) For the purposes of section 42, the following are the only demographic assumptions on which the actuarial present values are to be based:

• (a) the rate of mortality for any contributor who is a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police not holding a rank in the Force is the average of the rates of mortality for contributors who receive benefits in relation to a disability and contributors who receive benefits not in relation to a disability, of the same age group as the contributor, as set out in the actuarial valuation report laid before Parliament in accordance with section 45 of the Public Service Superannuation Act, taking into account the mortality projection factors set out in the report, which average is weighted in accordance with the benefits paid to contributors in relation to a disability and to contributors other than in relation to a disability;

• (b) the rate of mortality for any contributor who is a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police holding a rank in the Force is set out in the actuarial valuation report laid before Parliament in accordance with section 30 of the Act;

• (c) the rates of mortality of survivors are the rates in respect of spouses used in the preparation of the actuarial valuation report laid before Parliament in accordance with section 45 of the Public Service Superannuation Act, taking into account the mortality projection factors set out in the report; and

• (d) the rates of divorce shall be those established by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions in accordance with the most recent statistics on divorce published by Statistics Canada.

(2) The actuarial valuation reports referred to in subsection (1) are the most recent actuarial valuation reports laid before Parliament before the day of the election, or, if those reports were laid before Parliament in the month in which that day falls or in the preceding month, the reports that were laid before Parliament immediately before those reports, in each case with any terminological modifications that the circumstances require.
