Powering Partnerships to Build a Better Canada

For 30 years, governments across Canada have partnered with the private sector to deliver, operate and maintain the hospitals, highways, courthouses, bridges, schools and water/wastewater plants that we depend on everyday. That’s 300+ projects valued at more than $139 billion.

Why You Should Consider a P3

Promoting, Protecting & Evolving the 'Made in Canada' P3 Model

Established in 1993, CCPPP is a national, non-partisan not-for-profit with members from both government & the private sector. Virtually all major players involved in public infrastructure in Canada are members of the Council. Together, we work to shape the future of our country's infrastructure and services by delivering value to Canadians through public-private partnerships (P3s).

What We Do

Strength in Membership: Collaboration & Partnership More Important than Ever

We are in the midst of a volatile but very energetic time in our sector. There are a lot of new and exciting things happening and we want to make sure the Council is engaged with all of you — its members and all of the stakeholders in the sector — to be at the forefront of stimulating conversations and finding solutions to deliver critical, innovative and resilient infrastructure for all Canadians.

Johanne Mullen, Chair of CCPPP's Board & Partner, PwC Canada

Op-ed: Drop the rhetoric: P3s work

Let’s be honest: the current state and long-term viability of much of Canada’s infrastructure — including its schools — has been hampered when it comes to properly maintaining and upkeeping these critical assets. The benefit of the P3 model is that this cost is built into the contract right from the beginning, Lisa Mitchell argues in the Winnipeg Free Press.
