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.

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.

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

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 is a legendary name. I had to read C.D. Howe publications when I was at school, and they are still required reading.

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.

No question the C.D. Howe Institute has contributed immensely to Canada’s  economic policy debates over the past several decades with good peer-reviewed and non-partisan analysis.

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

The C.D. Howe Institute conducts absolutely first-class policy research.  Its publications and recommendations are relevant not only for Canada and the United States, but also for world leaders on a broad range of issues ranging from energy policy to corporate taxation, to international trade, and of course to the proper conduct of monetary and fiscal policy.

“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 am pleased to continue working with the C.D. Howe Institute, an important Canadian institution, and to serve on the Competition Policy Council in particular. I learn a great deal from the practitioners, academics and policy-makers that comprise the Council, and look forward to the next year of discussion and debate.

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.

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

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

Our support for the C.D. Howe is simple: as a provider of sound public policy options, the Institute is critical to fostering high living standards for future generations.
