History
The Ministry of Industry and Trade was created on February 13, 1982, when the Ministry of Industry and Tourism was divided to form the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The branches of the Ministry were organized into three divisions, each administered by an Assistant Deputy Minister. These were the Trade Division, the Industry Division, and the Information and Support Division. In 1984, the Information and Support Division was abolished and the Innovation and Technology Division was established.
Agencies which reported to the Ministry included the Development Corporations, the Ontario International Corporation, the Ontario Research Foundation, the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre Corporation, and the IDEA Corporation.
The Ministry lasted for only three years and was renamed the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology in June of 1985.
