In relation to the discipline process for ASET members, what does "professional member" mean?

In the context of the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act (EGPA) and the bylaws that govern ASET's disciplinary procedures, exact terminology is crucial for determining legal jurisdiction. The disciplinary authority of ASET applies strictly to those who hold legal status within the organization. While "professional member" is a term heavily used by APEGA to denote P.Eng. or P.Geo. status, within ASET's regulatory umbrella (and general legislative phrasing concerning individuals subject to discipline), it refers broadly to a "regulated member." A regulated member is an individual who has met the full academic and experiential requirements and is actively registered to use a protected title (such as Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.), Certified Technician (C.Tech.), or Professional Technologist (P.Tech.)). Retired members, student members, and members-in-training (T.T.) belong to different membership categories with varying scopes of practice and regulatory oversight, but the core discipline process primarily targets fully regulated, practicing members who are providing services directly to the public.
