Now more than ever, the importance of rapidly convening leaders with a range of expertise and perspectives to respond to emerging policy challenges is clear. I’m pleased to continue connecting with colleagues across the country via the C.D. Howe Institute’s programs.

For over 50 years, the C.D. Howe Institute has been a beacon for sound economic and social policies in Canada.  Its remarkable contribution and intellectual leadership continue unabated.

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 long and successful history of providing incisive, factual and influential research on a wide range of issues that are critical to the future success of Canadian businesses. It is an honour to be a part of this great legacy.”

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.

Why should we support the Institute? Because it is only through support from civil society that an independent voice such as the C.D. Howe can survive.

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.

Since its inception in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has brought a unique perspective to public policy issues.

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.

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 is a world-class Canadian think tank that produces leading-edge, objective and analytically rigorous public policy work. I hope that all levels of government in Canada will take full advantage of the Institute’s outstanding public policy work.

I am thrilled to be joining the C.D. Howe Institute given its international reputation as a leading independent, nonprofit research organization that is advancing economic, financial and public policy in Canada.

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 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.
