History
The Consultative Services Branch was formed in 1976 as part of the Small Business Operations Division of the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism. The branch operated closely with the domestic offices located in the same division. The branch was divided into three sections: the Manufacturing Services Section; the Marketing and Financial Services Section; and the Selective Placement Services Section.
The branch was disbanded in 1979 when the Small Business Operations Division ceased to exist. The branch had no immediate successor, although some of its functions were assumed by the existing Industry Operations Branch and Small Business Development Branch. Those functions relating to the Metric system were assumed by the Industry and Trade Analysis Branch.
