      Historique

      The Committee on the Organization of Government in Ontario was established on June 12, 1958. Walter Lockhart Gordon was appointed chair of the committee, and the other committee members were William Mackintosh and Clifford Magone. The Committee reported to the Provincial Secretary.

      The need for such a committee had become apparent as the scope and complexity of government in Ontario increased substantially following the second world war. This issue had already been examined by a Standing Committee of the Legislature, but it was felt that a more thorough investigation should occur.

      The Committee did not make recommendations. Rather, it outlined four broad standards which it felt should guide the administration of government. These were: ministerial responsibility, which meant clear lines of authority and that the minister responsible must accept full accountability for the actions of the Department; financial accountability; grouping of related functions so as to reduce the number of bodies which require administration; and the provision for appeals for decisions made by ministers, officials, boards and commissions.

      The Committee was dissolved in 1959.
