The C.D. Howe Institute plays a very important role in stimulating national debate and reflection on key topics that will shape our future. For me, small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship and success are important areas of focus, and the Institute is very effective in developing and sharing policy ideas which will lead to SME growth as well as enhance Canada’s prosperity and competitiveness.
