      History

      When the Ontario Ministry of Skills Development was created in 1985, the position of Legal Counsel was established in the Office of the Deputy Minister. In 1986 Legal Services was expanded into a branch, continuing to report to the Deputy Minister. From 1986 to 1988, the Branch provided legal services to the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities as well as to the Ministry of Skills Development. In 1990, Legal Services was transferred to the Finance and Administration Division. In 1991, Legal Services was abolished, and the Legislation Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Education assumed responsibility for providing legal services for the Ministry of Skills Development.
