Last February, the Committee held public hearings and heard testimony from representatives representatives of the agencies under review. These included the Drug Addiction Research Foundation, the Crop Insurance Commission of Ontario, the Ontario Board of Parole and the Social Assistance Review Board. Here are some of the areas that have been dealt with in the Committee's report to the Legislative Assembly. The Committee was interested in the role of the Addiction Research Foundation within the government's overall approach to alcoholism and drug addiction.
