Testimonials

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.

“The expert examinations of Canadian monetary policy by the Institute over many years have, I believe, been a particularly important contribution to the broader understanding of the Bank of Canada and its role in our economy.”

Research Fellow, C.D. Howe Institute

I use C.D. Howe reports and briefs in many of the columns I write and in every policy course I teach at McGill. They are the model of intelligent, informed, evidence-based analysis. Canadian policy debate would be bleak without their like.
