A member of the public then asked for clarification about which rules this process could 
change and what areas can only policy be changed? 
Chair Busheikin responded that the OCP is a policy only document; the Land Use Bylaw 
(LUB) makes the rules that follow from the OCP policies. 
She also stated that the Local Trust Committee (LTC) would gather all the topics and 
report back to the community and make suggestions for areas that the Islands Trust (IT) 
does not have jurisdiction over. 
A member of the public suggested that the maximum amount of housing on our island 
depends on all the other topics. 
Another member of the public asked how much of the process is open for discussion. 
Chair Busheikin responded that the planners would answer technical details. 
A follow-up question was whether the process has already been determined. 
Chair Busheikin responded that the process can be made shorter or longer, and that the 
format, such as the use of subcommittees, is open for discussion. 
She then asked for volunteers to staff each of the 8 different stations, which were 
identified
