      History

      The Industry Operations Branch was created in April 1979. It consisted of the Ontario field offices of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which before 1979 had formed part of the Small Business Operations Division, and absorbed the functions of the defunct Consultative Services Branch. It also administered the international offices, which had formerly been part of the Industry and Trade Division and had been organized into three Industry and Trade Development Branches (one each for North America, Europe, and Special Areas).

      When the Ministry of Industry and Trade was created in 1982, the Industry Operations Branch ceased to exist, and the Ontario field offices became part of the Small Business and Field Services Branch. The international offices became part of the International Offices Branch.
