      History

      Select Committees are ad-hoc committees of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario with specific terms of reference to investigate and report on a specific issue. This select committee was originally appointed July 8, 1966 and re- established in each of the next three sessions of Parliament. It was chaired by Edward A. Dunlop. Recommendations of the committee made in the first two reports were incorporated in The Election Act, 1968-69 (Bill 217), and An Act to Amend the Voters' Lists Act (Bill 218). The recommendations of the third report, which called for further changes to the Election Act, were not implemented. Recommendations to the same act in the fourth report were incorporated in An Act to Amend the Election Act, 1968-69 (Bill 125, passed in 1971).

      A committee of the same name was established in 1944.
