History
Select committees are ad-hoc committees of the House of Assembly of Upper Canada with terms of reference to investigate and report on a specific issue. This committee was appointed on January 22, 1836. The Chairman was Alexander Chisholm. Two of the Committee members, Thomas D. Morrison and William Bruce, had, in 1835, been appointed Commissioners to investigate various issues of public concern, including schools and colleges and issued a report on this subject. A third Commissioner, Dr. Charles Duncombe, issued the Committee's second report.
