The Montreal Economic Institute is an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit research and educational organization. Through its publications, media appearances and conferences, the MEI stimulates debate on public policies in Quebec and across Canada by proposing wealth-creating reforms based on market mechanisms. It does not accept any government funding. 

• The MEI was awarded the prestigious Templeton Freedom Award Grants for Institute Excellence 2004. These prizes were given to fifteen young think tanks around the world among the 140 institutes from 49 countries that were considered. The recipients were chosen based on excellence in overall performance, including operating practices and public relations. The MEI is the first Canadian think tank to be honoured by this award created by Sir John Templeton.
