    History

    The Employment Equity Program of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General was established in 1980 as a result of a Management Board of Cabinet directive on Affirmative Action. The program was attached to the Corporate Services Division (known as the Programmes and Administration Division betweem 1980 and 1989). Originally named the Affirmative Action Program, the name was changed to the Employment Equity Program in 1987. In 1989, the program's responsibilities and functions were transferred to the Human Resources Branch. In 1994, the program was removed from the Human Resources Branch and placed under the responsibility of the Deputy Attorney General.
