408: Minister must consult
or “Minister must discuss proposed fees with affected groups before making new rules”

You could also call this:

“Minister must review sections and fees within 5 years and publish findings”

The Minister must check how sections 404 to 408 are working and look at the fees set by rules made under section 405. They need to do this within 5 years after the first rules about fees are made.

After the Minister has done this check, the chief executive has to make sure that everyone can read about what they found. They will put this information on a website that the chief executive runs or has someone run for them.
