I am very excited to join the C.D. Howe Institute, and look forward to helping the Institute fulfill its mission of promoting economically sound public policies in Canada.

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

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 is a leading voice on Canadian public policy, I am delighted to be able to continue to work with the Institute.

The C.D. Howe Institute conducts absolutely first-class policy research.  Its publications and recommendations are relevant not only for Canada and the United States, but also for world leaders on a broad range of issues ranging from energy policy to corporate taxation, to international trade, and of course to the proper conduct of monetary and fiscal policy.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides a forum for informed debate and discussion of public policy issues of national importance and their publications are well researched and informative. I consider myself privileged to be included in their efforts.

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.

I look forward to continued collaboration with the many engaged and informed voices that the C.D. Howe Institute excels in bringing together to foster the development of effective and fair public policies for all Canadians.

The C.D. Howe Institute has earned its status as a leading source of sound policy advice in good times and in times of stress because its analyses and recommendations are not simply based on empirical data, but provide a way of making sense of the data, which is crucial for a well-balanced policy design.

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.

[The Department of Finance] appreciates the topical relevance and analytical quality of the Institute’s policy research.

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute stands at the apex of Canadian policy thought and only gets better.

I have always been impressed by the rigour of the work at the C.D. Howe Institute.

In today’s complex landscape, the C.D. Howe Institute gives home to the constructive dialogue needed to shape effective public policies for today and tomorrow. I am continually inspired by the work C.D. Howe does to promote actionable, high impact policy in Canada.

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.
