      History

      Standing committees of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario are regularly established within ten days of the beginning of each Session of Parliament, and report to the Legislature on matters referred to them. They do not have the authority to initiate investigations or expand their mandate. Since 1868, in most sessions of the Legislature, a Standing Committee to deal with Private Members Bills has been in place. In 1977, the Standing Committee on Private Bills was amalgamated with the Standing Regulations Committee to form the Standing Committee on Statutory Instruments.
