Trusted Policy
Intelligence

I am pleased to be contributing to the C.D. Howe Institute’s work in providing non-partisan, evidence-based policy advice to improve Canada’s economic outcomes.

Since its founding in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has been active in economic and social policy issues across Canada.

Why should we support the Institute? Because it is only through support from civil society that an independent voice such as the C.D. Howe can survive.

I have been a consumer of the C.D. Howe Institute’s products for years as they are a source of definitive policy intelligence.

Advice from the C.D. Howe Institute is always insightful and relevant.

Canada is facing challenges that cut across many dimensions: slowing economy, environmental concerns, demographic shift, cultural change and the affordability of health care to name a few. It needs organizations like the C.D. Howe Institute who, through high quality research and clear communication, help Canadian policymakers see beyond the challenges of the moment and adopt policy that will stand the test of time.

I’m sincerely honoured to renew my fellowship with the C.D. Howe Institute and its energy policy program. The Institute has a commitment to producing trustworthy research based on solid and dispassionate analysis of the issues. These are values I share as an energy policy researcher, which makes the work I do with the C.D. Howe Institute very rewarding.  I’m proud to be part of the Energy Council as it produces important work for the benefit of Canadians.

The C.D. Howe Institute delivers insightful, evidence-based analysis that informs sound policy decisions. Their rigorous research and impartial approach provide invaluable guidance for shaping Canada’s future and driving innovation for all Canadians.

I encourage everyone to get involved with the Institute – having different perspectives makes for engaging discussions and really valuable output.

Public policy and regulation work best when they are grounded in strong research, deep analysis and lively debate. The C.D. Howe Institute offers one of Canada’s most dynamic and effective forums where this takes place.

The C.D. Howe Institute has a most impressive research outreach program. Its many roundtable luncheons and member conference calls complement its extensive list of public policy publications.

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

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.

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute plays a very important role in stimulating national debate and reflection on key topics that will shape our future. For me, small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship and success are important areas of focus, and the Institute is very effective in developing and sharing policy ideas which will lead to SME growth as well as enhance Canada’s prosperity and competitiveness.

“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.”
