History
The Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister was established in 1988 to coordinate activities within the Office of Federal-Provincial Relations under the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs.
The office initially consisted of one assistant deputy minister appointed to the Office of Federal Provincial Relations to coordinate the provision of analysis and advice on issues affecting Ontario's relationships with the federal government and other provinces. In 1991, the name of the office changed to the Office of Constitutional Affairs and Federal-Provincial Relations but one assistant deputy minister remained responsible for the coordination of the two groups of functions, those under Constitutional Affairs and those under Federal-Provincial Relations.
In 1993, the administration of the Office of Constitutional Affairs and Federal-Provincial Relations was divided between two assistant deputy ministers. One was responsible for administering activities under intergovernmental policy and constitutional issues while the other administered federal-provincial relations. In 1996, the office reverted back to one position at the assistant deputy minister level. In 2001, the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs was again assigned two assistant deputy ministers, one serving in a general capacity for the branch and the other to specifically oversee Federal-Provincial-Local linkages.
When the name of the branch changed in 2002 to Office of Strategic Intergovernmental Advice, the number of assistant deputy minister positions was again limited to one. That arrangement remained until 2005, when the Office of Strategic Intergovernmental Advice was allotted two assistant deputy ministers. One administered intergovernmental operations and the other was responsible for intergovernmental policy.
