History
The Policy and Development Division was created within the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology in 1989, replacing the former Policy and Technology Division.
At creation in 1989, the Policy and Development Division consisted of the Technology Policy Branch, the Industry and Trade Policy Branch, and the remaining technology centres, which were being phased out of existence. Within a year, no technology centres remained, and the division consisted of the Technology Policy Branch, the Industry and Sectoral Policy Branch and the Research and Data Analysis Services Branch. Again, though, the division was restructured, and in 1992 consisted of the Sectoral Policy Branch, the Trade Policy Branch, and the Industry and Technology Policy Branch.
The division ceased to exist when the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade came into being in 1993. Most of the functions of the division were assumed by the Policy Division of the new ministry.
