History
The Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs was established in 1978 with the division of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs into two separate Ministries. Presiding over the Ministry is the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Since its establishment, the branches of the Ministry have tended to focus on five primary functional areas. These are municipal affairs, international relations, federal- provincial relations, Ontario-Quebec relations, and administrative and corporate services.
In 1981, the municipal affairs functions of the Ministry were removed and amalgamated with the Ministry of Housing to form the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
In 1991, the International Relations Branch was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology. Also, the Office of Federal-Provincial Relations was renamed the Office of Constitutional Affairs and Federal-Provincial Relations, reflecting an increase in the importance of the Office's responsibilities to provide advice to the Government of Ontario on constitutional matters.
