  (2) Despite paragraph 12(c) and subsection 4(2) of the schedule, but subject to the other provisions of this Act, if a pre-existing deposit is held by a federal credit union that is a member institution and all or a portion of the pre-existing deposit would have been guaranteed or insured under the law of a province if the local cooperative credit society had not been continued as a federal credit union, the Corporation must insure the pre-existing deposit during the transition period up to the amount that would have been guaranteed or insured under the law of that province.
