“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.”

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

It is a great honour to speak at the C.D. Howe Institute…one of the world’s epicentres of public policy enlightenment.

Now, perhaps more than ever, places such as the C.D. Howe Institute are vital to deliver policymakers and the general public the non-partisan, peer-reviewed and evidence-based analysis needed to navigate complex public policy topics. I am thrilled to continue my affiliation with the Institute in furthering that mission.

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

I am very excited to join the C.D. Howe Institute, and look forward to helping the Institute fulfill its mission of promoting economically sound public policies in Canada.

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

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.

Now more than ever, the importance of rapidly convening leaders with a range of expertise and perspectives to respond to emerging policy challenges is clear. I’m pleased to continue connecting with colleagues across the country via the C.D. Howe Institute’s programs.

The C.D. Howe Institute stands at the apex of Canadian policy thought and only gets better.

I support the Institute for its proven track record of advancing policy proposals that tangibly help Canada in its quest for talent, innovation and investment.

I support the C.D. Howe Institute because Canada needs  clear, unbiased,  and factual research on the major issues facing this country. C.D. Howe delivers this in spades.   While there is little doubt that some of the conclusions are not well received, the rigour of the analysis can hardly be disputed!

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