Praise for the Institute

The C.D. Howe Institute has earned its status as a leading source of sound policy advice in good times and in times of stress because its analyses and recommendations are not simply based on empirical data, but provide a way of making sense of the data, which is crucial for a well-balanced policy design.

Independent research is critical to debate, and the C.D. Howe Institute is a true Canadian jewel.

C.D. Howe means exposure to first-class critical analysis; participation in the development of thoughtful public policy; and enjoying the company of dynamic people engaged in the broader community.

Toronto’s C.D. Howe Institute is generally recognized as the preferred outlet for research by Canada’s top academics.

You need outside voices, like the C.D. Howe Institute, that are rigorous and thoughtful, that challenge some of the assumptions that are made within government.

Whether one agrees with the thrust of a C.D. Howe Institute study, the quality of its work and its impact on public policy is undeniable.
