Testimonials

Brian Johnston

Corporate Director, Johnston Family Foundation

I support the C.D. Howe Institute because Canada needs  clear, unbiased,  and factual research on the major issues facing this country. C.D. Howe delivers this in spades.   While there is little doubt that some of the conclusions are not well received, the rigour of the analysis can hardly be disputed!

The Honourable Jason Kenney PC, ECA

Senior Fellow

For decades, the C.D. Howe Institute has been one of Canada’s leading think tanks, contributing enormously to policy debates and inspiring positive reforms for Canadians. I am keen to contribute in areas that I have focused on over 25 years in public life, including immigration, labour markets and skills, fiscal policy, internal trade, and indigenous economic development.

Jim Keohane

Former President & CEO, Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP)

Given the aging of the Canadian population, retirement income security is likely to be one of the most important public policy issues we will face for the next couple of decades. The C. D. Howe Institute has played a leading role in providing a forum to bring together different expert viewpoints on how to evolve public policy in this important area. It is an honour to be given an opportunity to contribute insights into this work.

The world is in vigorous search of the right economic, trade and public policies to address inclusive growth. Thus, the work on an independent and intellectually rigorous organization such as the C.D. Howe Institute gains even more relevance today, not only within Canada, but beyond its borders. It’s a great honor to be invited to be an International Fellow of the Institute.

The C.D.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides a forum for key stakeholders to come together to discuss the issues most important to Canada in a candid, timely and constructive manner. This forum for non-partisan constructive dialogue has never been more important.
