History
The Industry Sector Policy Branch was created in 1977, and formed part of the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism. The branch had no immediate predecessor, since it was the first to conduct research on a sectoral basis. However, it resulted from a reconfiguration of research services in the ministry following the creation of the Policy and Priorities Division, which saw the former Trade Research Branch, Tourism Research Branch and Industry Research Branch reconfigured into the Industry Sector Policy Branch and the Industry and Trade Analysis Branch.
It continued to exist until 1982 when the Ministry of Industry and Trade replaced the Ministry of Industry and Tourism. In the new ministry, it was merged with the Industrial Policy Branch to form a new Industrial Policy and Analysis Branch.
