      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 committee was established July 10, 1985 and was chaired by Philip Andrewes. As a result of the committee's work, several bills were introduced but only one, the Energy Efficiency Act, 1987 (Bill 82) was passed.

      The recommendations of this committee were endorsed by its successor, the Select Committee on Energy (1988-1989), which urged the government to implement them.
