Increased trade, efficient movement of goods and people, stable long-term funding, thousands of new jobs and strong, prosperous communities: the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP) salutes these outcomes, which will result from the New Building Canada Plan announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec.

The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships welcomes the news that the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre (SPSC) Expansion project is now complete. It will benefit from using British Columbia's public-private partnership (P3) design, build, finance and maintenance delivery approach under a 32.5-year contract with Brookfield Infrastructure Partnerships Surrey.

The announcement by The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Québec, that the new bridge for the St. Lawrence will be built as a public-private partnership recognizes the critical importance of the Champlain Bridge as a $20-billion annual trade corridor and vital transportation artery for Québec and Canada. The Government of Canada has released the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) business case confirming that a P3 will provide the most cost-effective method to deliver the project within an accelerated timeline.

A special Mediaplanet insert on public-private partnerships was published in the Toronto Star on December 28, 2013.

Glen Murray and PPP Canada's CEO, John McBride, as well as interviews with Canada's Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty, Infrastructure Ontario's President and CEO, Bert Clark and CCPPP's President and CEO, Mark Romoff.

Articles included details on how P3s are providing benefits in Ontario and the rest of Canada, Canada's best in class approach and how projects will provide well-maintained infrastructure for decades to come.
