History
The division was formed in 1995 from units and branches which had formerly been under the Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister of Corporate Services. From around 1998, there started to be a government-wide shift towards centralization of administrative functions, including the creation of Ontario Shared Services, which took on many of the responsibilities once carried out at the ministry level. This led to a reduction in the size and scope of the Corporate Services Division. Around the same time, Legal Services was moved to the Office of the Deputy Minister. Internal Audit Services was also later moved to the latter office.
As of 2019, the Corporate Services Division includes the following offices: French Language Services, Corporate Business Services Branch, Finance Branch, Strategic Human Resources Branch, and MTO ONE / Strategy, Improvement and Innovation Branch.
