    History

    The Human Resources Secretariat was created in March, 1986. It assumed many responsibilities that formerly rested with the Civil Service Commission (which continued to exist). The Civil Service Commission agreed to delegate some of its functions to the new Secretariat.

    The secretariat was headed by a Deputy Minister who reported to the Chair of the Management Board of Cabinet.

    The Human Resources Secretariat ceased to exist in August 1991. The Management Board Secretariat and the Human Resources Secretariat were merged together into a new body which was called the Management Board Secretariat.
