“The C.D. Howe Institute has a long and successful history of providing incisive, factual and influential research on a wide range of issues that are critical to the future success of Canadian businesses. It is an honour to be a part of this great legacy.”

I have valued everything about my time so far with the C.D. Howe Institute.  There are a broad range of policy issues that will see insurance becoming an even more significant topic in public debate over the next several years.  I am thrilled to be asked to continue to engage with the Institute’s outstanding team to help think these topics through.

The C.D. Howe Institute is recognized as Canada’s preeminent policy research centre in the field of monetary policy. I am honoured to be associated with this long tradition of excellence.

I hope the C.D. Howe Institute continues to have a positive impact on government finances.

I’m sincerely honoured to renew my fellowship with the C.D. Howe Institute and its energy policy program. The Institute has a commitment to producing trustworthy research based on solid and dispassionate analysis of the issues. These are values I share as an energy policy researcher, which makes the work I do with the C.D. Howe Institute very rewarding.  I’m proud to be part of the Energy Council as it produces important work for the benefit of Canadians.

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides an opportunity for government to engage with partners in the private sector, partners in other levels of government, and others in the non-profit world.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I use C.D. Howe reports and briefs in many of the columns I write and in every policy course I teach at McGill. They are the model of intelligent, informed, evidence-based analysis. Canadian policy debate would be bleak without their like.

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.

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

Canada’s spectacular resources are easily squandered, underdeveloped or misdirected. The C.D. Howe Institute’s work enlightens public policy and helps decision makers avoid pitfalls. This is essential.
