This is the report issued by Mr. Justice A. M. LeBel on charges made by Edward Bigelow "Ted" Jolliffe, Co-operative Commonwealth Federation leader, and the leader of the Official Opposition in the Ontario Legislative Assembly, against Ontario Premier George Drew, that he was using a secret political police organization and its maintenance for the purpose of keeping a government in power. Mr. Jolliffe used the term "Gestapo" to describe the actions of Ontario Provincial Police inspector William Dempster during his 24 May 1945 radio speech. The commission was appointed on 28 May and tabled its report on 11 October 1945. In his conclusion, Justice LeBel said: "I am satsified upon all the eveidence that after taking office on August 17, 1943, the prime minister of Ontario, Honorable George A. Drew, and his government did not establish a secret police office at 18 Surrey Place, as Mr. Jolliffe charged in his first radio address."
