Mike Harris, Premier of Ontario (1995-2002), during a Luncheon Speech presented by the MEI

“The [Montreal Economic] Institute is truly an emerging force in the intellectual life of Quebec and Canada. It is important because it is bringing a fresh perspective on the issues this province faces, a new way of thinking about Quebec’s future. As a Premier of Ontario, I came to know the Institute’s high quality work and its reputation for challenging the status quo.”
