I am interested in getting a sense from the Minister and his Department about section 5(4) which states:

(a) ... is objectively and reasonably justified by a legitimate aim by the employer, and

(b) the means of achieving that aim are appropriate and necessary.

What specific examples are envisioned by the Minister and his Department in terms of the phrase "reasonably justified by a legitimate aim"? Is that defined in law anywhere else? Who would decide if there is disagreement on those aims?
