    Historique

    The Bureau of Agriculture for the Province of Canada was established by legislation passed on November 1, 1852. The head of the Bureau was given the title of Minister of Agriculture.

    In addition to its agricultural functions, the Bureau was also responsible for the Board of Arts and Manufactures of both Upper and Lower Canada, as well as the Board of Registration and Statistics, formerly under the direction of the Inspector General.

    In 1862, legislation was passed which established the Bureau of Agriculture as the Department of Agriculture. However, both terms continued to be used until 1867. By 1868, the functions of the Bureau/Department as they related to Upper Canada, or Canada-West, were assumed by the new Bureau of Agriculture and Arts for the Province of Ontario.

        Notes de maintenance

        Canadiana uses "Canada. Bureau of Agriculture". However, the AO distinguishes between the Province of Canada (1841-1867) and the Nation of Canada (1867- ), and therefore has modified the form of name to "Canada (Province). Bureau of Agriculture".
