These are technical drafting amendments to clarify the language that prevents the possibility of words clarifying a substantive provision being read as the substantive provision itself, that is, paragraphs (a) and (b) relate back to the opening words of the section, not to the qualification of these words by the phrase commencing with "other than". In simple terms, they relate back to the word "provision". The amendment seeks to make the language clear.
