I am pleased to continue my work with the C.D. Howe Institute. The Institute has allowed me to conduct research on a wide array of policy questions and communicate important findings to the public. I look forward to future research projects.

C.D. Howe plays an important role because it’s independent of government, it’s supported across the country, and it does very strong, rigorous analysis of public policy issues.

As the premier economics research institute in Canada, the Institute has contributed enormously to our understanding of the Canadian economy and the multiple social, economic and environmental challenges facing the country. I look forward to making further contributions to the C.D. Howe Institute’s research mission.

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.

Bringing together top policy-minded economists from across Canada, the C.D. Howe Institute leads the pack in analysing and debating important issues, and offers policymakers a solid foundation of logic and evidence for possible solutions.

Our support for the C.D. Howe is simple: as a provider of sound public policy options, the Institute is critical to fostering high living standards for future generations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute’s research is a critical asset to policy makers, and it provides a unique venue for substantive, non-partisan policy development. I hope my gift inspires others to make personal contributions to the Institute’s future.”

For over 50 years, the C.D. Howe Institute has been a beacon for sound economic and social policies in Canada.  Its remarkable contribution and intellectual leadership continue unabated.

Whether one agrees with the thrust of a C.D. Howe Institute study, the quality of its work and its impact on public policy is undeniable.

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.

Now more than ever, the importance of rapidly convening leaders with a range of expertise and perspectives to respond to emerging policy challenges is clear. I’m pleased to continue connecting with colleagues across the country via the C.D. Howe Institute’s programs.
