History
The Strategic Planning and Policy Secretariat was established in 1978, assuming the policy and research functions of the defunct Policy Analysis and Financial Planning Secretariat. The Secretariat was situated in the Deputy Minister's Office and was sometimes referred to simply as the Strategic Policy Secretariat or Branch.
In late 1981, the Secretariat ceased to exist when it's functions were moved to the Policy and Program Development Division and became administered by the Policy Services and Program Evaluation Branch.
