Professor Tasman Crowe:

I have undertaken to try to bring together some written examples to share with the committee. I am not sure of the timeline on that but I will do the best I can with whatever time is available. The answer is "Yes"; there are many examples of the ways in which consultation is almost the minimum level of engagement. Then there is engagement as the next level, where people are more engaged than just being asked for their view and it being taken away to somewhere else. Engagement gets people around the table discussing things. Participation is really where everybody is around the table making the decisions. We can envisage different levels of engagement on that hierarchy at different stages in the process.
