      History

      In June 1981, BILD funds totalling $3.6 million were made available over a two-year period to the Ontario Ministry of Education and the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities in order to stimulate industrial/commercial development related to the design and production of computer-based learning materials and hardware for use in education and training. Cabinet Minute 3-41/82 requested that the Ministries of Education and Colleges and Universities investigate and report on options in this area, and so a joint committee was formed called the Executive Committee on Technology composed of senior staff from both ministries and chaired by T.P. Adams, Assistant Deputy Minister, Administration and Planning Division.

      The committee continued to exist until it had completed its investigation, sometime around 1984.
