History
The Policy Analysis and Financial Planning Secretariat was created in 1974 as the result of two mergers in the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The Policy Secretariat was merged with the Research Branch to form the Policy Analysis Secretariat. This secretariat was in turn merged with the Income Security Secretariat to form the Policy Analysis and Financial Planning Secretariat.
The secretariat reported directly to the Deputy Minister. In policy and financial matters it worked closely with the various central agencies of the Ontario government (e.g. Management Board, Policy Field, and the Cabinet). The secretariat was divided into three broad areas: policy analysis, program analysis and financial planning, and research.
The secretariat was discontinued in 1978 and its policy and research functions were assumed by the Strategic Planning and Policy Secretariat.
