The C.D. Howe Institute is the best common room in the country.

“The expert examinations of Canadian monetary policy by the Institute over many years have, I believe, been a particularly important contribution to the broader understanding of the Bank of Canada and its role in our economy.”

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

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute is the premier economic think tank in Canada, and I feel privileged to be associated with them.

The C.D. Howe Institute helps create the policy base for a stronger Canadian economy.

The C.D. Howe Institute played an important role for the 2015 budget commitment which exempts donations involving private company shares and real estate from capital gains tax.

“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.”

I have had a long association with the C.D. Howe Institute, and have had the pleasure to have spoken at functions and contributed to their thought-provoking publications. I am extremely pleased to join such an impressive and important organization.

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

“It is an honour to be formally associated with the C.D. Howe Institute and to be given an opportunity to contribute to their incredibly strong public policy research.”

To be read and, most importantly, challenged by researchers who are among the most knowledgeable about economic policy in general and the Canadian economy in particular is the wonderful gift the Institute is providing its fellows. I can’t do without it.

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

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.

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.
