There is quite a difference between “comments” and “participation”. When you think of participation you think of terms of reference for a particular master plan. You think of participating at that level. Then you can think of participating at a level at which you actually look at the issues individually.
This is why I am saying that simply asking for comments at the end of a plan's being laid out doesn't give me much confidence in the scope of what the public is going to be involved with in the development of this master plan. I'm saying we need a little stronger word than “comments”. The word in the National Parks Act is “participation”.
I'd like to think that the government could look at that word rather than “comments”. Then I'd be fine with what they have there.
