History
The Federal-Provincial & Interprovincial Affairs Secretariat was created in April 1972, replacing the Federal-Provincial Affairs Secretariat following a recommendation of the Committee on Government Productivity. It was one of three secretariats in the Integovernmental Affairs Division, itself part of the Economic Policy and Intergovernmental Affairs Division of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs (TEIGA). Between 1972 and 1973 it was known as the Intergovernmental Affairs Secretariat.
In 1973, the Secretariat underwent a name change to the Federal-Provincial & Intergovernmental Affairs Secretariat, but otherwise maintained its reporting relationships. In 1979, the Secretariat became part of the new Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs.
In 1981, the Federal-Provincial and Interprovincial Affairs Secretariat was replaced with the Federal-Provincial Relations Branch.
