      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 formed on March 27, 1961 with Hollis E. Beckett as its chairman. It made a number of interim reports in 1961, 1962 and 1964, some of which requested the reinstatement of the committee. In March 1965 the final report was presented. Many of the committee's recommendations were adopted, although their call for regional governments was not acted upon for some time.

      Functions, occupations and activities

      The Select Committee on the Municipal and Related Acts was created in response to several investigations into the mishandling of public funds by municipal officials. Debate in the legislature on the subject led to a proposal that a complete revision of the Municipal Act was required in order to make municipal government more open and answerable to the public. The Committee was empowered to look into the structure of municipal government and procedures followed in maintaining the books.
