    Historique

    The Communications Division was created in 1971 when the Department of Highways and the Department of Transport were amalgamated into the newly constituted Department of Transportation and Communications.

    Initially known as the Communications Branch, this agency reported to the Policy Development Division. When the agency changed its name to the Communications Division in 1974 it was placed under the responsibility of the Deputy Minister.

    The Communications Division was transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Communications in 1987.

    The division ceased to exist in 1993, when the Ministry of Culture and Communications was disbanded. Communications functions were transferred to the new Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, and were assumed by the Technology and Communications Division.
