Trusted Policy

Canada is facing challenges that cut across many dimensions: slowing economy, environmental concerns, demographic shift, cultural change and the affordability of health care to name a few. It needs organizations like the C.D. Howe Institute who, through high quality research and clear communication, help Canadian policymakers see beyond the challenges of the moment and adopt policy that will stand the test of time.

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

The C.D. Howe Institute combines finely-honed wisdom with fresh innovation to produce Canada’s smartest and highest-impact policy research. I am thrilled to continue my association with the Institute.

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.

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.

Joining the C.D. Howe Institute is the single most effective way to intelligently broaden our national debate.

“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 provides definitive analysis on the essential issues facing the country.

The C.D. Howe Institute’s work is invaluable to the nation.

The C.D. Howe Institute makes a valuable contribution to raising the level of knowledge and sophistication in policy deliberations.

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.

“In a world of heightened disparate views and polarized thinking, it is encouraging to watch this institute perform. The C.D. Howe Institute has an array of expertise and demonstrates courage in tackling key issues faced by Canada today. I am honoured to be invited to play a small part.”

Supporting economic growth with effective policy has never been so important. The C.D. Howe Institute’s work in this area is second to none.

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’s publications and meetings enable many diverse stakeholders to benefit from evidence-based material and engaging presentations and discussions on a vast array of public policy subjects. I am proud to have the opportunity to be a part of an organization that provides a forum for open dialogue and positive change.”
