Testimonials

Allan Gregg

It is an honour to be invited to join the C. D. Howe Institute as a Senior Fellow.

I have long admired the Institute’s rigorous, evidence-based approach to policy analysis and prescription. Through its thought-provoking publications and events, the Institute has consistently challenged orthodoxy, shone a light on both the strengths and flaws of current and upcoming legislation, and advocated for measures to strengthen Canada’s economy. This work has encouraged business leaders, civil society and government to participate in elevated public discourse that would not otherwise happen.

The Institute is, unsurprisingly, also home to many of the best policy minds and thinkers in Canada. I cannot imagine anything that could be more stimulating at this stage in my career than finding ways to collaborate with them and contribute to the strengthening of Canada’s economic and political landscape.

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 Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs

For decades, the C.D. Howe Institute has brought rigour and thoughtfulness to some of the most important public policy debates our country has had – continental free trade, fiscal policy, healthcare policy and immigration policy, to name but a few. The Institute’s work in providing independent, non-partisan, evidence-based research is not only greatly needed for economic policies and fiscal accountability but also for our democracy.

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. I am deeply honoured to be part of it.
