      History

      The Ministry of Environment and Energy was established with the amalgamation of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Energy in 1993.

      The Ministry consisted of a number of branches which were organized into divisions. These divisions included: the Conservation and Prevention Division; the Environmental Sciences and Standards Division; the Corporate Management Division; the Policy Division; and the Operations Division.

      Agencies which reported to the Ministry included: the Advisory Committee on Environmental Standards; the Environmental Appeal Board; the Environmental Assessment Board; the Environmental Compensation Corporation; the Farm Pollution Advisory Committee; the Ontario Clean Water Agency; the Ontario Energy Board; the Ontario Energy Corporation; Ontario Hydro; and the Ontario Waste Management Corporation, among others.

      In 1997, the Ministry of Environment and Energy was divided to form the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology.

      The Ministry of Environment and Energy was re-established for a brief time from April to August 2002. On April 15, 2002, the energy-related functions of the former Ministry of Energy, Science and Technology (1997-2002) merged with Ministry of the Environment to re-form the Ministry of Environment and Energy. On August 22, 2002 the Ministry of Environment and Energy was split again into the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Energy.
