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 provides definitive analysis on the essential issues facing the country.

The C.D. Howe Institute is by far the best and most productive of Canada’s non-university think tanks.

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute is a legendary name. I had to read C.D. Howe publications when I was at school, and they are still required reading.

I support the C.D. Howe Institute because Canada desperately needs its high-quality, nonpartisan and evidence-driven research.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides Canada’s policy makers with practical, useful and principled advice, and I am honoured to be able to assist in their deliberations.

It’s an honor and a privilege to be associated with the C.D. Howe Institute. I have learned a great deal from ongoing discussions with my colleagues there about the central public policy challenges confronting Canada.

I am pleased to be contributing to the C.D. Howe Institute’s work in providing non-partisan, evidence-based policy advice to improve Canada’s economic outcomes.

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.

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.

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.

Bravo and thank you to the C.D. Howe Institute and to its members for a half-century of work to improve the quality of life of all Canadians!

“In a world of heightened disparate views and polarized thinking, it is encouraging to watch this institute perform. The C.D. Howe Institute has an array of expertise and demonstrates courage in tackling key issues faced by Canada today. I am honoured to be invited to play a small part.”

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.
