      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 appointed January 31, 1879, with J.H. Widdifield as Chair. Its report was presented to the House on March 5, 1879. The committee recommended that the proposal from a private company to build a canal was worthwhile, but no action was taken.

      An earlier committee of the same name was formed in 1869.
