• (2) Where, after a methodological revision of data, the calculation described in subsection (3) for a province results in a positive amount, the residential net capital stock data that was produced before the implementation of the methodological revision shall be used in calculating the interim estimates for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2002 in accordance with subparagraphs 8(1)(a)(i) and (ii) for that province.

• (3) The amount of an equalization overpayment resulting from a methodological revision of data, for a province, is the amount by which

  • (a) the estimate of fiscal equalization for a fiscal year made in accordance with paragraph 8(1)(a) based on the residential net capital stock data before the implementation of the methodological revision

  exceeds

  • (b) the estimate of the fiscal equalization for that fiscal year made in accordance with paragraph 8(1)(a) based on the residential net capital stock data immediately after the implementation of the methodological revision.

• (6) The recovery of any balance outstanding after the adjustments referred to in subsection (5) have been made shall be deferred to the next fiscal year.

• (7) Despite subsections (5) and (6), any balance that remains outstanding on April 1, 2007 as a result of the application of those subsections shall be recovered in equal monthly installments during the period beginning on that day and ending on March 31, 2008.

• (8) If methodological revisions of data, which occur after the coming into force of this Part and before March 1, 2003, result in additional overpayments to one or more provinces,

  • (a) the amount to be recovered from a province that has previously received an overpayment shall be adjusted by adding the amount of the additional overpayments affecting that province; and

  • (b) in the case of a province that has not previously received an overpayment, the additional overpayments affecting that province shall be recovered in accordance with this Part.

• (9) If methodological revisions of data, which occur after the coming into force of this Part and before March 1, 2003, have the effect of reducing an overpayment, the amount to be recovered from the province shall be adjusted accordingly.
