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. This committee was established ca. 1884. In 1920, with the appointment of a Chief Election Officer, the committee lost its functions relating to fairness during elections. It continued to exist until at least 1963.
