      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 May 28, 1920 with Hamnett P. Hill as chair, and reported to the House on February 16, 1921. The committee was split on its recommendations, with the majority feeling that proportional representation was a good idea, but with practical problems, and the minority not in favour of proportional representation. No actions were taken as a result of the report.
