      Historique

      In 1972, the Government of Ontario was substantially reorganized, and the various Departments that had existed prior to this time, were restructured as Ministries. In this process, the Department of Justice was restructured and renamed the Ministry of the Attorney General. The title of the head of the Department was also changed from Minister of Justice, back to that of Attorney General.

      Since 1972, the trend has been for the overall size of the Ministry to expand, while the Office of the Attorney General is reduced in relative size and responsibilities. In its current structure, the Office is responsible purely for the general administrative operations of the department, reported upon through the Office of the Deputy Attorney General. The Office generally has few direct program responsibilities, though a number of special initiatives and investigations do report directly to the Office of the Attorney General.

      There have been nine Attorneys General since 1972. These include: the Hon. Allan Lawrence (1971-72); the Hon. Dalton Bates (1972-74); the Hon. Robert Welch (1974-75); the Hon. John Clement (1975); the Hon. R. Roy McMurty (1975- 84); the Hon. Ian Scott (1984-90); the Hon. Howard Hampton (1990-1993); the Hon. Marion Boyd (1993-1995); and the Hon. Charles Harnick, since 1995.
