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.

Why should we support the Institute? Because it is only through support from civil society that an independent voice such as the C.D. Howe can survive.

Throughout my career, whether in the public or private sector, I have witnessed firsthand how influential and helpful C.D. Howe Institute research has been for senior leaders in government and business as they wrestle with current challenges.

The C.D. Howe Institute is renowned for its contributions to public policy. It has been instrumental in shaping Canadian policies that have led to growth and prosperity.

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.

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

I am thrilled to continue my close relationship with the Institute and to play a role in both research and engagement with its members.

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.

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute is a world-class Canadian think tank that produces leading-edge, objective and analytically rigorous public policy work. I hope that all levels of government in Canada will take full advantage of the Institute’s outstanding public policy work.

The C.D. Howe Institute plays a very important role in stimulating national debate and reflection on key topics that will shape our future. For me, small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship and success are important areas of focus, and the Institute is very effective in developing and sharing policy ideas which will lead to SME growth as well as enhance Canada’s prosperity and competitiveness.

The C.D. Howe Institute’s research and publications provide thoughtful, reasoned and balanced analysis of a wide range of public policy issues in Canada today.

The C.D. Howe Institute has earned its status as a leading source of sound policy advice in good times and in times of stress because its analyses and recommendations are not simply based on empirical data, but provide a way of making sense of the data, which is crucial for a well-balanced policy design.

The C.D. Howe Institute is by far the best and most productive of Canada’s non-university think tanks.

Canada is a better place because of the highly regarded analytical policy work of the C.D. Howe Institute.

Since its inception in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has brought a unique perspective to public policy issues.
