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

P3s are an answer to Canada's infrastructure crunch

P3s are a powerful tool for addressing Canada’s infrastructure needs, suggests Concert Infrastructure CEO and CCPPP board of directors member Derron Bain, in an Edmonton Journal opinion article. By governments of all levels embracing the recommendations laid out in CCPPP's recently-released report, Modernizing Canada’s Approach to Public-Private Partnerships (P3s), Canada can deliver "high-quality, cost-effective projects that meet the needs of today while laying a strong foundation for the generations of tomorrow," writes Bain.
