History
The Industrial Research Branch was formed within the Division of Industry of the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism when the former Research Services Division was disbanded in 1974. The Industrial and Marketing Studies Branch was divided into the Trade Research Branch (of the Division of Trade) and the Industrial Research Branch. (The Tourism and Recreation Studies Branch went on to become the Tourism Research Branch within the Division of Tourism).
In 1977, following the creation of the Policy, Planning and Priorities Division, the research functions of the Ministry of Industry and Tourism were reorganized. The former Trade Research Branch, Tourism Research Branch and Industry Research Branch together were reconfigured into the Industry Sector Policy Branch and the Industry and Trade Analysis Branch.
