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.

“In an era of “fake news” and “alternative facts”, the independent, evidence based public policy work of the C.D. Howe Institute is more important than ever. Their work helps all of us better understand the world around us and provides a platform for informed engagement, discussion and decision making”

It has become one of our country’s most recognized think tanks and has added much to the perspective of Canadians on a diverse range of subjects – from fiscal and monetary policy to economic growth and innovation.

The health and social policy work undertaken by the C.D. Howe Institute has an international reputation for its evidence-based, rigorous analysis. When it comes to the most urgent priorities, the C.D. Howe Institute’s publications are so often right on the money.

The C.D. Howe Institute played an important role for the 2015 budget commitment which exempts donations involving private company shares and real estate from capital gains tax.

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 provides a forum for key stakeholders to come together to discuss the issues most important to Canada in a candid, timely and constructive manner. This forum for non-partisan constructive dialogue has never been more important.

Good public policy is critical and the C.D. Howe Institute is a forum in which important public policies are developed and debated.

It is an honour to be invited to join the C. D. Howe Institute as a Senior Fellow.

The C.D. Howe Institute makes crucial contributions to public policy discussion in Canada and is a key voice in continuously improving Canadian society.

I am proud to be associated with the C.D. Howe Institute, one of Canada’s best sources of first rate economic commentary and policy analysis.

For decades, the C.D. Howe Institute has been one of Canada’s leading think tanks, contributing enormously to policy debates and inspiring positive reforms for Canadians. I am keen to contribute in areas that I have focused on over 25 years in public life, including immigration, labour markets and skills, fiscal policy, internal trade, and indigenous economic development.

“The C.D. Howe Institute is respected for the high-quality, evidence-based research it produces, as well as its stellar events. In my time as a Fellow, I have been able to publish content for the Institute on a wide array of topics, including the economic impact of the pandemic shutdown, aspects of green finance, and the governance of Crown corporations, all with the strong support and guidance of the Institute’s excellent staff. I look forward to more of the same in the year ahead.”

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 stands at the apex of Canadian policy thought and only gets better.
