      History

      In 1970, the title of Minister of Mines was changed to Minister of Mines and Northern Affairs, reflecting a corresponding change in the name of the Department. In 1972, however, the Department was merged with the Department of Lands and Forests to form the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. With this change, the functions of the Office of the Minister of Mines were continued by the Office of the Minister of Natural Resources. The Hon. Allan F. Lawrence was the Minister of Mines and Northern Affairs in 1970, while the Hon. Leo Bernier, was Minister from 1971-1972.
