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 played an important role for the 2015 budget commitment which exempts donations involving private company shares and real estate from capital gains tax.

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.

Since its inception in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has brought a unique perspective to public policy issues.

“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.”

The C.D. Howe Institute has been, over the years, an exceptional place for out-of-the-box ideas and discussions on a broad range of issues with significant impacts on public policies in Canada and elsewhere.

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 a legendary name. I had to read C.D. Howe publications when I was at school, and they are still required reading.

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.

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 am pleased to be contributing to the C.D. Howe Institute’s work in providing non-partisan, evidence-based policy advice to improve Canada’s economic outcomes.

The C.D. Howe Institute has always been one of Canada’s most trusted sources for research and policy analysis of the highest caliber. What is perhaps less acknowledged is the leadership the Institute provides to convene experts and decision-makers to debate practical policy options that address Canada’s most pressing challenges. I am honoured to further my association with C.D. Howe Institute through this appointment.

“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.”

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.

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.
