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.

The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs

For decades, the C.D. Howe Institute has brought rigour and thoughtfulness to some of the most important public policy debates our country has had – continental free trade, fiscal policy, healthcare policy and immigration policy, to name but a few. The Institute’s work in providing independent, non-partisan, evidence-based research is not only greatly needed for economic policies and fiscal accountability but also for our democracy.
