The C.D. Howe’s Financial Services Research Initiative is a unique set-up, unparalleled in Canada. It brings together policy makers, industry experts, financial institutions and academic researchers for a free exchange of ideas and pressing regulatory concerns.

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

I’ve long admired the C.D. Howe Institute’s commitment to thoughtful, evidence-based public policy. It’s a privilege to contribute to a place that plays such an important role in shaping Canada’s future.

The C.D. Howe Institute has a well-earned reputation for rigorously tackling the most complex policy issues of the day and whose voice is trusted, respected and listened to by government and industry decision makers alike.

“In a world of heightened disparate views and polarized thinking, it is encouraging to watch this institute perform. The C.D. Howe Institute has an array of expertise and demonstrates courage in tackling key issues faced by Canada today. I am honoured to be invited to play a small part.”

I’m delighted to join the C.D. Howe Institute at such a pivotal moment in our country’s history. The Institute’s outstanding research and thoughtful contributions to policy debates are invaluable, and I’m honoured to contribute in my own way to its important work.

I look forward to continued collaboration with the many engaged and informed voices that the C.D. Howe Institute excels in bringing together to foster the development of effective and fair public policies for all Canadians.

“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”

Canada is a better place because of the highly regarded analytical policy work of the C.D. Howe Institute.

The C.D Howe Institute has a longstanding tradition of improving the standard of living for Canadians from coast to coast by fostering sound economic and social policy.

In a period of growing social, economic, and geopolitical instability, rigorous, timely, and evidence-based research to support Canada’s policymakers has never mattered more. The Institute has done that work for decades, and I am proud to contribute to it.

“It is an honour to be formally associated with the C.D. Howe Institute and to be given an opportunity to contribute to their incredibly strong public policy research.”

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 has been, over the years, an exceptional place for out-of-the-box ideas and discussions on a broad range of issues with significant impacts on public policies in Canada and elsewhere.

Given the aging of the Canadian population, retirement income security is likely to be one of the most important public policy issues we will face for the next couple of decades. The C. D. Howe Institute has played a leading role in providing a forum to bring together different expert viewpoints on how to evolve public policy in this important area. It is an honour to be given an opportunity to contribute insights into this work.
