Minister of Industry and Commerce (Manitoba)

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce is a former government department in the province of Manitoba, Canada.

The department was created by John Bracken's provincial government in November 1940, when Bracken's Liberal-Progressives formed a wartime alliance with the Progressive Conservatives, the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and Social Credit. The first minister to oversee the department was John Stewart McDiarmid.

The position was eliminated in 1978, and its responsibilities dispersed among other departments.
