The C.D. Howe Institute, Canada’s leading nonpartisan public policy think tank, is proud to be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2008. During the past half-century, the Institute has made a lasting and vital contribution toward improving Canadians’ standard of living by fostering sound economic and social policy.
Since its inception in 1958, the Institute has stayed on the forefront of public policy debates in Canada, providing clear, innovative thinking about the nation’s challenges. Its life-span has been marked by strong public policy leadership, timely research initiatives, and a reputation for producing independent, reasoned and relevant research.
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, the C.D. Howe Institute will be hosting a series of events and initiatives.
In addition, we have also launched a new philanthropic section on our website, which provides information regarding our fundraising initiatives and allows members to contribute personal gifts for the 50th Anniversary online.
“Independent research is critical to debate, and
the
C.D. Howe Institute is a true Canadian jewel.”
— Kevin G. Lynch, Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet

Ending Central Procurement a Start: C.D. Howe Institute
Toronto, May 8 – Economic and policy problems plague Ontario’s electricity sector, six years after the government’s initial attempt at market liberalization in 2002, says a Commentary released today by the C.D. Howe Institute. Remedies include market-based solutions, such as ending the central procurement function of the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) and making Ontario Power Generation’s generating assets available to the private sector, says Michael Wyman, author of Power Failure: Addressing the Causes of Underinvestment, Inefficiency and Governance Problems in Ontario’s Electricity Sector. Wyman looks at how to fashion a cost-effective, reliable electricity system and to bridge the rapidly approaching gap between demand and supply. He examines the reasons for underinvestment in new generation among other problems, and makes recommendations for improvement.
