Trusted Policy
Intelligence

“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.”

No one at the C.D. Howe Institute has ever told me what opinions I should hold, but when it comes to how I present them, it is a very different matter. Its readers and editors require logically coherent arguments, well supported by evidence and clearly expressed. The Institute’s peer-review process is impeccable.

To be read and, most importantly, challenged by researchers who are among the most knowledgeable about economic policy in general and the Canadian economy in particular is the wonderful gift the Institute is providing its fellows. I can’t do without it.

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 stands at the apex of Canadian policy thought and only gets better.

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.

It is a great honour and privilege to serve as a Senior Fellow with the C.D. Howe Institute.  Through my career I have valued its work and contributions to the public policy debate.  It has also never shied away from taking on the difficult issues of the day, thus promoting open and needed discussion within government and the private sector.

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.

I’m delighted to join the C.D. Howe Institute at such a pivotal moment in our country’s history. The Institute’s outstanding research and thoughtful contributions to policy debates are invaluable, and I’m honoured to contribute in my own way to its important work.

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

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

It is a great honour to speak at the C.D. Howe Institute…one of the world’s epicentres of public policy enlightenment.

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

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