Mullins has been with the Institute since 2003 as Director of Ontario Policy Studies. Previous roles include President of consulting firm MSG Hedge Corporation, and Senior VP and Chief Economist at investment dealers Midland Walwyn Capital. In the past, he's worked as economic and fiscal policy advisor to the Canadian Alliance Party and the Progressive Conservative Party.
