Section 16.1 (pronounced "sixteen point one") is not to be confused with subsection 16(1) ("sixteen one"), which is part of section 16 and was part of the original 1982 text. Section 16.1 is a separate section;[1] the "point one" numbering indicates that this new section was added between two existing sections without renumbering them.
