One would like to ensure such people would adhere to the same high standards the current Minister has set for himself. Therefore, there needs to be some clarification regarding what "reasonable" means or a linking of "reasonable" to meaningful public participation. "Reasonable" could mean what is reasonable to the authority or what is reasonable to the person trying to engage. If the Minister is unwilling to accept our wording, further clarity is needed, particularly on linking reasonableness to meaningful public participation.
