The C.D. Howe Institute provides an opportunity for government to engage with partners in the private sector, partners in other levels of government, and others in the non-profit world.

The health and social policy work undertaken by the C.D. Howe Institute has an international reputation for its evidence-based, rigorous analysis. When it comes to the most urgent priorities, the C.D. Howe Institute’s publications are so often right on the money.

Membership in the C.D. Howe gives you up front access to leading edge thinking on major issues facing our country.

“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.”

Supporting economic growth with effective policy has never been so important. The C.D. Howe Institute’s work in this area is second to none.

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.

[The Department of Finance] appreciates the topical relevance and analytical quality of the Institute’s policy research.

The C.D. Howe Institute sets the gold standard in research through its nonpartisan, evidence-driven work.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides a forum for informed debate and discussion of public policy issues of national importance and their publications are well researched and informative. I consider myself privileged to be included in their efforts.

The C. D. Howe Institute is remarkable for the balance, breadth and rigor with which it addresses policy questions. It has enriched and deepened our understanding of key issues, promoted active debate and contributed importantly to the conduct of public policy in Canada.

I support the C.D. Howe Institute because Canada desperately needs its high-quality, nonpartisan and evidence-driven research.

From the time I was a student, through my years as Ontario Finance Minister, to the present day; the C.D. Howe Institute has been a thought leader on Canadian public policy. It is a real privilege to be associated with the Institute as it continues to advocate thoughtful debate, and solutions, to a range of society’s most challenging issues.

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 makes crucial contributions to public policy discussion in Canada and is a key voice in continuously improving Canadian society.
