      History

      The International Trade and Investment Branch was formed in 1982 when the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Trade came into existence, and replaced the Trade Development Branch of the former Ministry of Industry and Tourism.

      The branch was located in the Trade Division of the new ministry, and was divided into sections. The Export Consulting Section provided advice to companies on how to export. The U.S. Section was responsible for exports to the United States, and the Overseas Section to offshore countries.

      It continued to exist until 1984 when it was merged with the Trade Policy and Analysis Branch to form the new International Marketing Branch.
