      The Service Sector Secretariat was formed to strengthen the service sector in Ontario, which was viewed as providing the bulk of new employment in the province when the Secretariat was created. The Secretariat acted as an advocate for the service sector within government, and worked with the sector to increase its potential for development. In particular, "tradable" services were targeted for particular attention.
