Michael Carin,”Free Market Thinking – The Quebec-based think tank, celebrating its fifth anniversary, has become a compelling voice in the public policy arena,” Montreal Business Magazine

“…the MEI can be said to have exerted an effect on our public discourse much greater than even its most optimistic supporters would have believed possible. […] In the francophone milieu, and even though it’s still a small organization, the MEI has grown to be the largest private think tank in the world. In Quebec, it has become a respected fountainhead of free market ideas related to public policy decision-making. Across Canada its voice is not only heard, but increasingly called upon.”
