Independent research is critical to debate, and the C.D. Howe Institute is a true Canadian jewel.

The C.D. Howe Institute plays a very important role in stimulating national debate and reflection on key topics that will shape our future. For me, small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship and success are important areas of focus, and the Institute is very effective in developing and sharing policy ideas which will lead to SME growth as well as enhance Canada’s prosperity and competitiveness.

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

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 is remarkable for the balance, breadth and rigor with which it addresses policy questions. It has enriched and deepened our understanding of key issues, promoted active debate and contributed importantly to the conduct of public policy in Canada.

C.D. Howe means exposure to first-class critical analysis; participation in the development of thoughtful public policy; and enjoying the company of dynamic people engaged in the broader community.

The C.D. Howe Institute is the best common room in the country.

I support the Institute for its proven track record of advancing policy proposals that tangibly help Canada in its quest for talent, innovation and investment.

Now, perhaps more than ever, places such as the C.D. Howe Institute are vital to deliver policymakers and the general public the non-partisan, peer-reviewed and evidence-based analysis needed to navigate complex public policy topics. I am thrilled to continue my affiliation with the Institute in furthering that mission.

The C.D. Howe Institute has a well-earned reputation for rigorously tackling the most complex policy issues of the day and whose voice is trusted, respected and listened to by government and industry decision makers alike.

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.

The world is in vigorous search of the right economic, trade and public policies to address inclusive growth. Thus, the work on an independent and intellectually rigorous organization such as the C.D. Howe Institute gains even more relevance today, not only within Canada, but beyond its borders. It’s a great honor to be invited to be an International Fellow of the Institute.

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.

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

Throughout my career, whether in the public or private sector, I have witnessed firsthand how influential and helpful C.D. Howe Institute research has been for senior leaders in government and business as they wrestle with current challenges.
