  1 (1) The Governor in Council may grant to the Honourable Mr. Justice Donald Raymond Morand, a judge of the Supreme Court of Ontario who has continued in office for more than fifteen years but has not attained the age of sixty-five years, if he resigns his office to assume the office of Ombudsman of Ontario, an immediate annuity equal to the maximum annuity that could be granted to him under section 23 of the Judges Act if he had attained the age of sixty-five years before the day on which he so resigns.

  ### Agreement between Canada and Ontario
  
  2 An annuity may be granted to Mr. Justice Morand under this Act only if the Government of Canada has first entered into an agreement with the Government of Ontario under which the Government of Ontario undertakes to reimburse the Government of Canada in the amount of the annuity and any other related benefits payable to him or on his behalf for the period beginning on the day he resigns his office as a judge to assume the office of Ombudsman of Ontario and continuing to the day he attains the age of sixty-five years, resigns the office of Ombudsman of Ontario or is removed therefrom by reason of being afflicted with some permanent infirmity disabling him from the due execution of that office or dies, whichever first occurs.
