Trusted Policy
Intelligence

The C.D. Howe Institute is a trusted source of policy intelligence and can help re-energize the debate on passenger rail service across Canada

Since its inception in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has brought a unique perspective to public policy issues.

The C.D. Howe Institute is a legendary name. I had to read C.D. Howe publications when I was at school, and they are still required reading.

C.D. Howe is of course well known as one of Canada’s foremost economic think tanks.

Canada’s spectacular resources are easily squandered, underdeveloped or misdirected. The C.D. Howe Institute’s work enlightens public policy and helps decision makers avoid pitfalls. This is essential.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides an opportunity for government to engage with partners in the private sector, partners in other levels of government, and others in the non-profit world.

The C.D. Howe Institute is a world-class Canadian think tank that produces leading-edge, objective and analytically rigorous public policy work. I hope that all levels of government in Canada will take full advantage of the Institute’s outstanding public policy work.

I support the C.D. Howe Institute because Canada needs  clear, unbiased,  and factual research on the major issues facing this country. C.D. Howe delivers this in spades.   While there is little doubt that some of the conclusions are not well received, the rigour of the analysis can hardly be disputed!

“I am delighted to join the C.D. Howe Institute as the Roger Phillips Scholar of Social Policy and to contribute to the Institute’s exceptional record of producing high-quality non-partisan fact-based evidence on the important policy challenges facing our country.”

I’m a great admirer of the C.D. Howe Institute.

The C.D. Howe Institute is renowned for its contributions to public policy. It has been instrumental in shaping Canadian policies that have led to growth and prosperity.

I use C.D. Howe reports and briefs in many of the columns I write and in every policy course I teach at McGill. They are the model of intelligent, informed, evidence-based analysis. Canadian policy debate would be bleak without their like.

The C.D. Howe Institute is the best common room in the country.

In a period of growing social, economic, and geopolitical instability, rigorous, timely, and evidence-based research to support Canada’s policymakers has never mattered more. The Institute has done that work for decades, and I am proud to contribute to it.

For over 50 years, the C.D. Howe Institute has been a beacon for sound economic and social policies in Canada.  Its remarkable contribution and intellectual leadership continue unabated.

The C.D. Howe Institute has been, over the years, an exceptional place for out-of-the-box ideas and discussions on a broad range of issues with significant impacts on public policies in Canada and elsewhere.
