History
The Metropolitan Toronto Commission of Inquiry was established in 1957 with Dr. Lorne Cummings, Chairman of the Ontario Municipal Board, as Chair. The other Commissioners were William Stewart, Allan Grossman, William Lewis, and Thomas Graham, all M.P.P.s. from the Metropolitan area.
The Commission held public hearings in 1957 and 1958 and received submissions from interested individual and organizations regarding problems and proposed changes in the Metropolitan system of government. A final report was issued in 1958, much of which was incorporated into an Act to Amend the Metropolitan Toronto Act which was passed by the Legislature in 1958.
