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.

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

Public-private collaboration key to weather tariff uncertainty

To weather economic and political uncertainty arising from a possible U.S.-Canadian tariff war, our infrastructure sector must act proactively and work together to forge immediate and long-term mitigation strategies. Right now, it is vital for our members to remain calm yet proactive. We need both the public and private sectors to flex their innovative know-how to find paths forward. On Thursday, February 13, CCPPP is convening a special members-only town hall to discuss key pain points and pragmatic solutions our industry, both public and private, can implement in anticipation of tariffs being enacted in 30 days time.

Partnering for progress: Solving B.C.’s infrastructure crisis

"For B.C. to thrive, bold action is needed quickly. Public-private partnerships represent an opportunity to bridge the gap between what communities need and what governments can afford, " writes Concert Infrastructure CEO and CCPPP Board of Directors member Derron Bain in a Times Colonist opinion article. "By delivering high-quality, cost-effective projects with built-in maintenance, P3s ensure infrastructure is built to serve today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow."

OP-ED, P3 News

December 19, 2024

We shouldn't abandon P3s. This is what we should do instead

"Delivering complex infrastructure projects and keeping an eye on value for taxpayers requires two equal partners at the table: the public and private sector. We strongly disagree with critics like John Lorinc who argued in an op-ed for government to give up on Infrastructure Ontario and the public-private partnership model. Why should we kneecap Ontarians and get rid of a procurement model and agency that has successfully delivered 78 P3s — 94 per cent on budget and 67 per cent on time?" argues CCPPP's Lisa Mitchell in a Toronto Star op-ed.
