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.

Since its founding in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has been active in economic and social policy issues across Canada.

The C.D. Howe Institute has an excellent reputation among academics and policymakers in Canada and around the world.

I have had a long association with the C.D. Howe Institute, and have had the pleasure to have spoken at functions and contributed to their thought-provoking publications. I am extremely pleased to join such an impressive and important organization.

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.

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 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 am thrilled to be joining the C.D. Howe Institute given its international reputation as a leading independent, nonprofit research organization that is advancing economic, financial and public policy in Canada.

It has become one of our country’s most recognized think tanks and has added much to the perspective of Canadians on a diverse range of subjects – from fiscal and monetary policy to economic growth and innovation.

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 is the preeminent source of objective, peer-reviewed, quality research informing public policy in Canada, and it is an honour to be given the opportunity to contribute insights to its work.

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

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.

We support the Institute because good policy decisions don’t happen by chance, they arise from informed debate aided by quality independent research.

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.
