The C.D. Howe Institute is recognized as Canada’s preeminent policy research centre in the field of monetary policy. I am honoured to be associated with this long tradition of excellence.

The C.D. Howe Institute has always been one of Canada’s most trusted sources for research and policy analysis of the highest caliber. What is perhaps less acknowledged is the leadership the Institute provides to convene experts and decision-makers to debate practical policy options that address Canada’s most pressing challenges. I am honoured to further my association with C.D. Howe Institute through this appointment.

The analysis of our health care system needs to be based on information, objective analysis, and evidence – and a lot of that great work is being done at the C.D. Howe Institute.

I’m a great admirer of the C.D. Howe Institute.

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.

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.

“The C.D. Howe Institute is respected for the high-quality, evidence-based research it produces, as well as its stellar events. In my time as a Fellow, I have been able to publish content for the Institute on a wide array of topics, including the economic impact of the pandemic shutdown, aspects of green finance, and the governance of Crown corporations, all with the strong support and guidance of the Institute’s excellent staff. I look forward to more of the same in the year ahead.”

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.

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.

You need outside voices, like the C.D. Howe Institute, that are rigorous and thoughtful, that challenge some of the assumptions that are made within government.

Bringing together top policy-minded economists from across Canada, the C.D. Howe Institute leads the pack in analysing and debating important issues, and offers policymakers a solid foundation of logic and evidence for possible solutions.

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 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.

I am delighted to be the CD Howe Institute’s Fellow-in-Residence and Inaugural Scholar in AI and Digital Policy. I look forward to conducting research with colleagues from the Institute, and helping convene national level conversations on public policies that support AI innovation and safety in Canada.

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.
