No. The amendments are mainly textual or technical in scope. For example, amendment No. 12 inserts a comma after the word "declares" in page 22, line 22; amendment No. 13 inserts the word "or" after the word "served," in page 22, line 23 and amendment No. 20 inserts the words "and obtained" after the word "sought" in page 23, line 45. The amendments seek to improve the Bill, not to provide for fast-tracking.
