      History

      The Pension Commission of Ontario was established in 1963 within the Treasury Department.

      The Commission consisted of between five and nine members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, and is supported in its work by a small administrative staff.

      When the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial relations was created in 1972, the Pension Commission was moved into its jurisdiction.

      On April 1, 1986, the Ontario Pension Commission was moved to the Ministry of Financial Institutions, and again in 1993, to the Ministry of Finance.

      The Pension Commission of Ontario ceased to exist in 1998, and its functions were assumed by the new Financial Services Commission of Ontario.
