      History

      The Office of the Minister of Skills Development existed for the same period of time as the Ministry itself, from 1985 to 1993. For most of that period, the Office included a Parliamentary Assistant, who was a member of the Legislature seconding the Minister with his parliamentary responsibilities; the Parliamentary Assistant had his/her own staff, which was part of the Office of the Minister. From the 1985 to 1987, and from 1990 to 1993, the Minister of Skills Development was also Minister of Colleges and Universities; from 1989 to 1990, the Minister of Skills Development was at the same time Minister of Colleges and Universities, and Minister of Education. In February, 1993, the Ministry of Skills Development, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities and the Ministry of Education were amalgamated to form the Ministry of Education and Training, and the Office of the Minister, Ministry of Skills Development, ceased to exist.
