    Historique

    The Trade and Industry Branch was created in 1944 within the Department of Planning and Development.

    During the 1960's, the branch was divided into several sections, including the Plant Location Section, the Manufacturing Arrangements Section, the Marketing Section, the Municipal Data Section, the Research Section and the Exhibition Section. The branch also maintained international offices to promote its services. In 1956, there were offices in New York, London (England) and Chicago. By 1965 there were offices as well in Dusseldorf (Germany) and Milan (Italy).

    When the Department of Planning and Development became the Department of Commerce and Development for a brief time in 1961, the Trade and Industry Branch became known as the Industrial Development Branch. However, the Department of Commerce and Development was disbanded less than a year after it was created and replaced by the Department of Economics and Development, and shortly after that the Industrial Development Branch again became known as the Trade and Industry Branch.

    In 1968, the Department of Economics and Development was replaced with the Department of Trade and Development. The Trade and Industry Branch was replaced by a division of the new department, the Trade and Industry Division. The new division consisted of several branches, mostly made up from the former sections of the Trade and Industry Branch.
