      Historique

      The Ministry began as the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Division within the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade in 2004, for the purpose of promoting and serving small businesses. On 23 May 2006, following a cabinet shuffle, a press release issued by the Premier's Office announced that the Division had been made into a stand-alone ministry under its own minister.

      The Hon. Harinder Takhar served as the only Minister of Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

      Fonctions et activités

      The Ministry of Small Business and Entrepreneurship is responsible for promoting the creation of innovative entrepreneurs and the development of small businesses (i.e., firms with under 500 employees) in Ontario's commercial sector. The Ministry works with numerous private sector stakeholders and all levels of government.

      The Ministry focuses on activities which support a prosperous and competitive economy by: providing policy and research support services to the Ontario government; providing information, advice and services to Ontario high performance firms, communities, business networks, and other regional development stakeholders; promoting and encouraging entrepreneurship as a viable career option and assisting new entrepreneurs in the evaluation and process of start-up; promoting entrepreneurial skills, qualities and opportunities to Ontario's youth; and promoting the adoption of e-business and new technologies by small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

      The Ministry's mandate is to support the Government's "Strong People, Strong Economy" Economic Priority Plan and "Success for Students" Education Priority Plan by fostering a competitive business climate that advances small business and entrepreneurial success in Ontario. The Ministry delivers on this priority by focusing on three core functions: promoting entrepreneurship, coordinating small business support and delivering business advisory services.
