The word "provision" is used for the alternate because you probably aren't going there. You don't plan (intend) to go to an alternate, you provide for it (fuel and other preparations), because it is a backup.
Look again at the extract I have provided from the CAR, which, once again, is the origin of your AIP quote, in its full expanded form. The first sentence starts with, "Before beginning a flight,".
Some of us can admit that the rule is poorly written and understand why others might have a different opinion on the answer, but why is it those that share your opinion that are making all the childish comments and insults about the professionalism of those that don't agree, or even just those that suggest it is a little grey?
