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.

From the time I was a student, through my years as Ontario Finance Minister, to the present day; the C.D. Howe Institute has been a thought leader on Canadian public policy. It is a real privilege to be associated with the Institute as it continues to advocate thoughtful debate, and solutions, to a range of society’s most challenging issues.

The C.D. Howe Institute is the preeminent source of objective, peer-reviewed, quality research informing public policy in Canada, and it is an honour to be given the opportunity to contribute insights to its work.

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

The C.D. Howe Institute is the best common room in the country.

The C.D. Howe Institute’s research and publications provide thoughtful, reasoned and balanced analysis of a wide range of public policy issues in Canada today.

I am very excited to join the C.D. Howe Institute, and look forward to helping the Institute fulfill its mission of promoting economically sound public policies in Canada.

As the premier economics research institute in Canada, the Institute has contributed enormously to our understanding of the Canadian economy and the multiple social, economic and environmental challenges facing the country. I look forward to making further contributions to the C.D. Howe Institute’s research mission.

I have been a consumer of the C.D. Howe Institute’s products for years as they are a source of definitive policy intelligence.

The C.D. Howe Institute has been, over the years, an exceptional place for out-of-the-box ideas and discussions on a broad range of issues with significant impacts on public policies in Canada and elsewhere.

The health and social policy work undertaken by the C.D. Howe Institute has an international reputation for its evidence-based, rigorous analysis. When it comes to the most urgent priorities, the C.D. Howe Institute’s publications are so often right on the money.

For over 50 years, the C.D. Howe Institute has been a beacon for sound economic and social policies in Canada.  Its remarkable contribution and intellectual leadership continue unabated.
