    History

    The Freedom of Information and Privacy Office of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General was established in 1987 within the Programmes and Administration Division (later named the Corporate Services Division). In 1997, the Corporate Services Divisions of both the Ministry of the Attorney General and the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services were merged to form the Integrated Justice Corporate Services Division. With this amalgamation, the separate Freedom of Information and Privacy Offices of the two ministries were also combined to form one office responsible for the coordination and administration of freedom of information policies and procedures for both ministries.
