The Northern Development Program (or the Northern Affairs Program as it became in 1973) was, therefore, the direct administrative descendant of the Northwest Territories and Yukon Branch, 1922-1950, and the Northern Administration (and Lands) Branch, 1950-1968. Its functions had changed significantly, however: the Inuit no longer fell exclusively under its purview; day-to-day administrative activity and operations had been successfully transferred to the territorial governments; encouragement of economic development and mineral and oil and gas exploration was more important as were environmental concerns; and the functions of planning, advising, financing, and evaluating northern development became central to the Department's role in the North. Still under the purview of the Northern Affairs Program were two broad areas: the general administration of the North, including support of municipal and territorial governments, education, welfare, health, and other social services; and the development of Northern resources, including the building of roads and airports, maintenance of communications, protection of wildlife and the environment, and control of oil and gas exploration, forestry, and mineral development. Reflecting these new emphases, the Northern Affairs Program developed a new file classification system for its records. Although similar to the 1951 duplex-numeric system of the Northern Administration and Lands Branch, but with greater scope and flexibility, the Program's new system was based on a four-digit, duplex-numeric series of subject blocks. This system is still in use.
