January 27, 2015 – The Board and Staff of the C.D. Howe Institute mourn the passing of Joseph L. Rotman, who served on the Institute’s Board from 1999 through 2012, and subsequently was an honorary director and a member of the Institute’s National Council.
He was an exemplary supporter of the Institute, deeply engaged in its policy work and passionate about its mission.
We offer our sympathy to his family and friends, and extend our profound gratitude for his contributions to the Institute and to Canadian public life.
The C.D. Howe Institute is an independent not-for-profit research institute whose mission is to raise living standards by fostering economically sound public policies. It is Canada’s trusted source of essential policy intelligence, distinguished by research that is nonpartisan, evidence-based and subject to definitive expert review. It is considered by many to be Canada’s most influential think tank.
