The term "pension" is ... applied rather than "annuity" to the regular payments made under public pension plans where no contract has been entered into for the payment of a specific amount of annuity. Although the terms "pension" and "annuity" have become almost synonymous, "annuity" should more properly be reserved for the technical processes involved, namely a series of equal payments made at equidistant intervals. 4, record 1, English, - pension

Au gouvernement fédéral, on emploie le terme «pension» plutôt que celui de «rente» pour désigner les versements périodiques effectués en application des régimes de retraite publics lorsqu'il n'y a pas eu de contrat prévoyant le versement d'une rente spécifique. Cependant le terme «rente» est l'expression consacrée par le gouvernement du Québec. 4, record 1, French, - pension
