Trusted Policy
Intelligence

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 helps create the policy base for a stronger Canadian economy.

The C.D. Howe Institute has a most impressive research outreach program. Its many roundtable luncheons and member conference calls complement its extensive list of public policy publications.

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute has been, over the years, an exceptional place for out-of-the-box ideas and discussions on a broad range of issues with significant impacts on public policies in Canada and elsewhere.

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

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

“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.”

You need outside voices, like the C.D. Howe Institute, that are rigorous and thoughtful, that challenge some of the assumptions that are made within government.

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.

“The expert examinations of Canadian monetary policy by the Institute over many years have, I believe, been a particularly important contribution to the broader understanding of the Bank of Canada and its role in our economy.”

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.

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