      History

      In 1969, when the Ontario Department of the Attorney General was replaced with the Ontario Department of Justice, the title of Attorney General was changed to that of Minister of Justice and Attorney General. This situation lasted only until 1972, when the Government of Ontario was reorganized and the various Departments were replaced with Ministries. At this time, the Department of Justice was restructured and renamed the Ministry of the Attorney General, and the title of Minister of Justice and Attorney General reverted to that of simply, the Attorney General.

      The Minister of Justice and Attorney General between 1969 and 1971 was the Hon. A.A. Wishart.
