Prior to then the administration of the department was the responsibility of the Postmaster General. In 1996 the Department of Labour was abolished, but the ministerial position continued within Human Resources Development Canada from 1996 to 2003, and Human Resources and Skills Development Canada from 2003 to date.
In 2004 the portfolio was renamed from "Labour" to "Labour and Housing."
