History
Although the Treasury Board possessed a Secretary as early as 1956, it was not until formal changes were made to the Financial Administration Act in 1962, that a permanent secretariat was established.
Initially, the Secretariat consisted of two branches - the Secretariat Branch and the Organization and Methods Services Branch. The Secretariat Branch had responsibility for managing the committee of cabinet functions of the Board, while the Organization and Methods Services Branch filled a management and budgetary advisory role which could be called upon by all ministries and agencies of government.
With the expansion of government activity through the 1960s, the number of branches attached to the Secretariat expanded accordingly, as did the Secretariat's authority over the activities of other government departments. Over time, it assumed responsibility for programs such as records management and the development of automated information systems within the public service.
The secretariat ceased to exist in 1971 and was replaced with the Secretariat of the Management Board of Cabinet.
