Don Drummond is Co-Chair of the C.D. Howe Institute’s Fiscal and Tax Competitiveness Council.
He was most recently Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at the TD Bank, where he played a key role in building TD’s reputation as “a think tank in a bank,” leading TD Economics’ work in analyzing and forecasting economic performance in Canada and abroad.
Upon his decision to retire from TD in 2010, he was named as the Matthews Fellow and Distinguished Visiting Scholar in the School of Policy Studies at Queen’s University.
Mr. Drummond was educated at the University of Victoria and Queen’s University, where he completed his M.A. in Economics.

His last three positions at the Department of Finance were respectively, Assistant Deputy Minister of Fiscal Policy & Economic Analysis, Assistant Deputy Minister of Tax Policy & Legislation and Associate Deputy Minister. In this last position he was responsible for economic analysis, fiscal policy, tax policy, social policy and federal-provincial relations. Mr. Drummond coordinated the planning of annual federal budgets. He joined the TD Bank in June 2000.
