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.

Whether one agrees with the thrust of a C.D. Howe Institute study, the quality of its work and its impact on public policy is undeniable.

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

I am grateful to the C.D. Howe Institute not only for giving me the opportunity to put myself in the place of monetary policy decision-makers through the Monetary Policy Council but for the invaluable sources of comments and ideas that have informed my research over the years.

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.

I look forward to continued collaboration with the many engaged and informed voices that the C.D. Howe Institute excels in bringing together to foster the development of effective and fair public policies for all Canadians.

The C.D. Howe’s Financial Services Research Initiative is a unique set-up, unparalleled in Canada. It brings together policy makers, industry experts, financial institutions and academic researchers for a free exchange of ideas and pressing regulatory concerns.

“In an era of “fake news” and “alternative facts”, the independent, evidence based public policy work of the C.D. Howe Institute is more important than ever. Their work helps all of us better understand the world around us and provides a platform for informed engagement, discussion and decision making”

Public policy and regulation work best when they are grounded in strong research, deep analysis and lively debate. The C.D. Howe Institute offers one of Canada’s most dynamic and effective forums where this takes place.

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

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.

Canada is a better place because of the highly regarded analytical policy work of the C.D. Howe Institute.

“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.”

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