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 a longstanding tradition of improving the standard of living for Canadians from coast to coast by fostering sound economic and social policy.

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

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.

I hope the C.D. Howe Institute continues to have a positive impact on government finances.

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!

C.D. Howe plays an important role because it’s independent of government, it’s supported across the country, and it does very strong, rigorous analysis of public policy issues.

“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’s an honor and a privilege to be associated with the C.D. Howe Institute. I have learned a great deal from ongoing discussions with my colleagues there about the central public policy challenges confronting Canada.

“The C.D. Howe Institute has a long and successful history of providing incisive, factual and influential research on a wide range of issues that are critical to the future success of Canadian businesses. It is an honour to be a part of this great legacy.”

I have always tried to focus my research on areas with direct application to public policy,” said Johnson. “The C.D. Howe Institute has been a great partner in pursuing my interests.

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

“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”

To be read and, most importantly, challenged by researchers who are among the most knowledgeable about economic policy in general and the Canadian economy in particular is the wonderful gift the Institute is providing its fellows. I can’t do without it.
