Safe harbours

The C. D. Howe Institute The C. D. Howe Institute is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that aims to improve Canadians’ standard of living by fostering sound economic and social policy. [...] The Institute promotes the application of independent research and analysis to major economic and social issues affecting the quality of life of Canadians throughout the country. [...] The Institute communicates clearly the analysis and recommendations arising from its work to the general public, the media, academia, experts, and policy makers. [...] The Institute began life in 1958 when a group of prominent business and labour leaders organized the Private Planning Association of Canada to research and promote educational activities related to public economic and social policy. [...] The PPAC renamed itself the C. D. Howe Research Institute in 1973 following a merger with the C. D. Howe Memorial Foundation, an organization created in 1961 to memorialize the Right Honourable Clarence Decatur Howe.
