      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 appointed March 22, 1887 with C.F. Fraser as Chair. Much of the testimony centres around the question of relationship of the Act to private accident insurance measures such as the Grand Trunk Insurance and Provident Society. The committee recommended that the provisions of the Act be extended to railway companies, and with the passage of An Act to amend the Workmen's Compensation for Injuries Act in 1887 (Bill 171), this was accomplished.
