2.1 The definitions in the Agreement in Principle apply to this Agreement, as though they were repeated here.
2.2 Further, the definitions of the following terms apply to both the Agreement in Principle and the present Agreement, and, in the case of the Agreement in Principle, have the same effect as they would if they were expressly recited there:
2.2.1 Fiscal year means the period beginning on April 1 and ending on March 31 of the following year. It is synonymous with the term financial year.
2.2.2 Emploi-Québec, until such time as it has been established by legislation, shall be synonymous with the expression Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité
2.2.3 The parties agree to interpret transition period within the meaning of clause 10.5 of the Agreement in Principle, as follows:
2.2.3.1 The period preparatory to the assumption of responsibility by Québec for the active employment measures and National Employment Service functions for which it has become responsible under the Agreement in Principle means the period between the signing of the Implementation Agreement and March 31, 1998;
2.2.3.2 The transition, namely the moment Canada withdraws from the areas of labour market activity covered by the Agreement in Principle and the moment Québec assumes responsibility of those areas of activity. The transition shall take place on April 1, 1998, subject to clause 12.4 of this Agreement. Accordingly, beginning on that date, all staff affected by the Agreement in Principle shall be transferred to Québec and shall provide services on behalf of Québec, even if deployment of the employees to Québec offices has not been completed;
2.2.3.3 The adjustment period shall begin on April 1, 1998, and end once the deployment of staff has been fully completed.
