Praise for the Institute

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.

The C.D. Howe Institute provides a forum for objective, nonpartisan public policy debate. The outcome of those discussions – sensible, practical and pragmatic recommendations for government and the private sector are sorely needed in today’s highly polarized public square. I am honoured to have been invited to contribute to the discussion.

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.

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

Canada's spectacular resources are easily squandered, underdeveloped or misdirected. The C.D. Howe Institute's work enlightens public policy and helps decision makers avoid pitfalls. This is essential.

I have valued everything about my time so far with the C.D. Howe Institute.  There are a broad range of policy issues that will see insurance becoming an even more significant topic in public debate over the next several years.  I am thrilled to be asked to continue to engage with the Institute's outstanding team to help think these topics through.
