No one at the C.D. Howe Institute has ever told me what opinions I should hold, but when it comes to how I present them, it is a very different matter. Its readers and editors require logically coherent arguments, well supported by evidence and clearly expressed. The Institute’s peer-review process is impeccable.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides a forum for informed debate and discussion of public policy issues of national importance and their publications are well researched and informative. I consider myself privileged to be included in their efforts.

Bringing together top policy-minded economists from across Canada, the C.D. Howe Institute leads the pack in analysing and debating important issues, and offers policymakers a solid foundation of logic and evidence for possible solutions.

The C. D. Howe Institute is remarkable for the balance, breadth and rigor with which it addresses policy questions. It has enriched and deepened our understanding of key issues, promoted active debate and contributed importantly to the conduct of public policy in Canada.

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.

I am pleased to continue working with the C.D. Howe Institute, an important Canadian institution, and to serve on the Competition Policy Council in particular. I learn a great deal from the practitioners, academics and policy-makers that comprise the Council, and look forward to the next year of discussion and debate.

The C.D. Howe Institute is the premier economic think tank in Canada, and I feel privileged to be associated with them.

The C.D. Howe Institute resonates in Ottawa and across the provinces.

For a researcher, the range of informed commentary and expertise mobilized by the C.D. Howe in its peer reviews is priceless.

I’m delighted to join the C.D. Howe Institute at such a pivotal moment in our country’s history. The Institute’s outstanding research and thoughtful contributions to policy debates are invaluable, and I’m honoured to contribute in my own way to its important work.

“The importance of nonpartisan evidence-based research in critical areas of Canadian public policy cannot be overstated. Since its founding in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has fulfilled this role admirably. I am honored to be a part of this great Canadian endeavor.”

Our support for the C.D. Howe is simple: as a provider of sound public policy options, the Institute is critical to fostering high living standards for future generations.

I am thrilled to continue my close relationship with the Institute and to play a role in both research and engagement with its members.

“The C.D. Howe Institute serves as an essential hub for policy thinkers from business, government, and academia. I’m delighted to continue my work with the C.D. Howe Institute to find policy solutions to build a more prosperous country for all Canadians.”

To be read and, most importantly, challenged by researchers who are among the most knowledgeable about economic policy in general and the Canadian economy in particular is the wonderful gift the Institute is providing its fellows. I can’t do without it.

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.
