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 analysis of our health care system needs to be based on information, objective analysis, and evidence – and a lot of that great work is being done at the C.D. Howe Institute.

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

I’ve long admired the C.D. Howe Institute’s commitment to thoughtful, evidence-based public policy. It’s a privilege to contribute to a place that plays such an important role in shaping Canada’s future.

“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.”

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.

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 has an excellent reputation among academics and policymakers in Canada and around the world.

The C.D. Howe’s Financial Services Research Initiative is a unique set-up, unparalleled in Canada. It brings together policy makers, industry experts, financial institutions and academic researchers for a free exchange of ideas and pressing regulatory concerns.

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.

Now, perhaps more than ever, places such as the C.D. Howe Institute are vital to deliver policymakers and the general public the non-partisan, peer-reviewed and evidence-based analysis needed to navigate complex public policy topics. I am thrilled to continue my affiliation with the Institute in furthering that mission.

“In an era of “fake news” and “alternative facts”, the independent, evidence based public policy work of the C.D. Howe Institute is more important than ever. Their work helps all of us better understand the world around us and provides a platform for informed engagement, discussion and decision making”

It is an honour to become a C.D. Howe Institute fellow and to be part of a leading research organization dedicated to competitiveness, productivity and innovation in Canada.

I have always tried to focus my research on areas with direct application to public policy,” said Johnson. “The C.D. Howe Institute has been a great partner in pursuing my interests.

For decades, the C.D. Howe Institute has been one of Canada’s leading think tanks, contributing enormously to policy debates and inspiring positive reforms for Canadians. I am keen to contribute in areas that I have focused on over 25 years in public life, including immigration, labour markets and skills, fiscal policy, internal trade, and indigenous economic development.
