      History

      The Federal-Provincial Affairs Secretariat was established by Premier John Robarts in 1965 within the Department of Economics and Development. The Secretariat was transferred to the Treasury Department in 1968, and continued from 1969 to 1971 within the Department of Treasury and Economics.

      In April, 1972, the Federal-Provincial Affairs Secretariat was replaced with a new Federal-Provincial & Interprovincial Affairs Secretariat, within the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs.
