      History

      The Labour Policy Division was created in 1991, when it assumed some of the functions of the former Labour Policy and Programs Division.

      The division was headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister and its main branches were: Health and Safety Policy, Labour Market and Adjustment Policy (renamed Employment Conditions and Labour Market Policy in 1994-95), Workplace Policies and Practices, and the Policy Coordination and Liaison Secretariat (renamed Policy Coordination Unit in 1994-95). The Labour-Management Policy Branch was added in 1994-95.

      In 1996 the division was merged with the Communications Branch and became known as the Policy and Communications Division.
