History
The Treasury Division was created in 1991 within the Ministry of Treasury and Economics. It combined functions of the defunct Programs and Estimates Division of Management Board with those of the Fiscal Planning Policy Branch, Ministry of Treasury and Economics.
The Division was originally called Expenditure Management Division; the name was changed to Treasury Division in 1992.
The Division was originally part of the Ministry of Treasury and Economics; it became part of the new Ministry of Finance in 1993.
The Division was headed by the Secretary of Treasury Board, who held the rank of Deputy Minister. In 1994, the Deputy Minister of Finance was given the title of Secretary of Treasury Board, and an Assistant Secretary was appointed to head the Treasury Division.
The Division was originally comprised of the Expenditure Management Design Project (until 1992), the Expenditure Policy and Design Services Branch (replaced by the Capital Corporations and Division Support in 1993), the Fiscal Planning Policy Branch (renamed Fiscal Planning Branch in 1992), the Education and Social Services Branch, the Justice and General Government Branch, and the Resources Development Branch.
In 1994, responsibilities for controllership were added to the Division's function. The Division was then re-arranged into seven branches: Central Accounting, Financial Information, Capital and Crown Corporations, Fiscal Planning, Expenditure Management and Reporting, Social and Justice, and Resources and Economic Development.
The Division ceased to exist in 1995. Responsibility for fiscal planning and controllership was transferrred to the new Fiscal and Financial Policy Division of the Ministry of Finance, while the expenditure and estimates functions were transferred to the new Program Management and Estimates Division, Management Board Secretariat.
