More than any other think tank, the C.D. Howe Institute commands attention.

Canada is facing challenges that cut across many dimensions: slowing economy, environmental concerns, demographic shift, cultural change and the affordability of health care to name a few. It needs organizations like the C.D. Howe Institute who, through high quality research and clear communication, help Canadian policymakers see beyond the challenges of the moment and adopt policy that will stand the test of time.

“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.”

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

The C.D. Howe Institute is a great organization. Must have for those with interests in public policy.

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

Good public policy is critical and the C.D. Howe Institute is a forum in which important public policies are developed and debated.

The world is in vigorous search of the right economic, trade and public policies to address inclusive growth. Thus, the work on an independent and intellectually rigorous organization such as the C.D. Howe Institute gains even more relevance today, not only within Canada, but beyond its borders. It’s a great honor to be invited to be an International Fellow of the Institute.

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.

Canada is a better place because of the highly regarded analytical policy work 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.

It is a great honour and privilege to serve as a Senior Fellow with the C.D. Howe Institute.  Through my career I have valued its work and contributions to the public policy debate.  It has also never shied away from taking on the difficult issues of the day, thus promoting open and needed discussion within government and the private sector.

The C.D. Howe Institute has a well-earned reputation for rigorously tackling the most complex policy issues of the day and whose voice is trusted, respected and listened to by government and industry decision makers alike.

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 is the preeminent source of objective, peer-reviewed, quality research informing public policy in Canada, and it is an honour to be given the opportunity to contribute insights to its work.

I support the Institute for its proven track record of advancing policy proposals that tangibly help Canada in its quest for talent, innovation and investment.
