The health and social policy work undertaken by the C.D. Howe Institute has an international reputation for its evidence-based, rigorous analysis. When it comes to the most urgent priorities, the C.D. Howe Institute’s publications are so often right on the money.

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 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 Department of Finance] appreciates the topical relevance and analytical quality of the Institute’s policy research.

“I am delighted to join the C.D. Howe Institute as the Roger Phillips Scholar of Social Policy and to contribute to the Institute’s exceptional record of producing high-quality non-partisan fact-based evidence on the important policy challenges facing our country.”

The C.D. Howe Institute consistently spearheads high-quality and timely research on relevant public policy matters. It is a pleasure to contribute to this body of research and partner with the Institute to promote economic prosperity in Canada.

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.

I have been a consumer of the C.D. Howe Institute’s products for years as they are a source of definitive policy intelligence.

The C.D. Howe Institute sets the gold standard in research through its nonpartisan, evidence-driven work.

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.

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

We support the Institute because good policy decisions don’t happen by chance, they arise from informed debate aided by quality independent research.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides a forum for key stakeholders to come together to discuss the issues most important to Canada in a candid, timely and constructive manner. This forum for non-partisan constructive dialogue has never been more important.
