      Historique

      The Technology and Communications Division was formed in 1993 when the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade came into existence. The predecessors of the division were the Communications Division of the former Ministry of Culture and Communications, and the Industry and Technology Division of the former Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology.

      At creation, the division consisted of the Information Infrastructure Branch, the Communications Regulatory and Policies Branch, and Technology Ontario. The regulatory functions relating to communications largely ceased when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1994 that communications were a matter for federal regulation.

      The division ceased to exist in 1996, when the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism was restructured. The division had no immediate successor. Technology and communications functions appear to have become the responsibility of the Capital Goods and Technology Sectors Branch, and to some extent the Technology and Training Development Branch, within the new Strategic Analysis, Sectors and Technology Division.
