Trusted Policy
Intelligence

“The importance of nonpartisan evidence-based research in critical areas of Canadian public policy cannot be overstated. Since its founding in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has fulfilled this role admirably. I am honored to be a part of this great Canadian endeavor.”

I am thrilled to continue my close relationship with the Institute and to play a role in both research and engagement with its members.

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.

“The C.D. Howe Institute serves as an essential hub for policy thinkers from business, government, and academia. I’m delighted to continue my work with the C.D. Howe Institute to find policy solutions to build a more prosperous country for all Canadians.”

The C.D. Howe Institute’s research and publications provide thoughtful, reasoned and balanced analysis of a wide range of public policy issues in Canada today.

C.D. Howe is of course well known as one of Canada’s foremost economic think tanks.

The C.D. Howe Institute is the premier economic think tank in Canada, and I feel privileged to be associated with them.

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.

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.

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

Good public policy is critical and the C.D. Howe Institute is a forum in which important public policies are developed and debated.

“The C.D. Howe Institute is respected for the high-quality, evidence-based research it produces, as well as its stellar events. In my time as a Fellow, I have been able to publish content for the Institute on a wide array of topics, including the economic impact of the pandemic shutdown, aspects of green finance, and the governance of Crown corporations, all with the strong support and guidance of the Institute’s excellent staff. I look forward to more of the same in the year ahead.”

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

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.

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.

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.
