    Historique

    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 March 28, 1938 with C.D. Conant as chair, and reported to the House on April 5, 1939. The committee was divided in its conclusions, with the majority exonerating Premier Hepburn of misdeeds, and the minority finding political interference with Hydro management.
