    History

    The Special Committee to Study the Relationship of Government and the Arts in Ontario was established in April 1983 within the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture. The Committee was also known as the Macaulay Committee after its Chair, Robert W. Macaulay, a lawyer, former MPP, and prominent patron of the arts.

    The committee's recommendations to the Minister of Citizenship and Culture resulted in the re-affirmation of the government's support for the Ontario Arts Council as the province's principal arts granting agency and increased the Council's funding base for five major performing arts organisations in Ontario.
