(

(

when that person reaches 60 years of age, if at retirement he or she is less than 60 years old, or

(iii)

(

section applies fails to exercise an election under subsection (1), a pension payable in respect of that person's service with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador shall be paid in accordance with paragraph (
