      History

      The Policy Planning Secretariat was established in 1983 within the Office of the Deputy Minister, Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture.

      By 1986, the Secretariat comprised two sections: Policy Analysis and Research, and Policy Coordination. In 1987, the Secretariat ceased to exist. However, policy advisors still remained in the Office of the Deputy Minister.

      In 1988, the Office of the Deputy Minister, Ministry of Culture and Communications, established a Corporate Services unit (later named Corporate Policy) that seems to have fulfilled the same functions as the Policy Planning Secretariat.
