New national and community surveys show that Canadians across the country strongly support using public-private partnerships (P3s) to deliver important public infrastructure and services.

Canada now has 20 years of experience with P3s and 207 projects are currently in procurement, under construction or in operation across the country. In a national Nanos Research survey commissioned by The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP), 62% of respondents are open to using P3s.

A majority of Canadians also indicated that they support the use of P3s across key sectors of the economy, with transit systems (70%), roads (65%), social housing (64%) and hospitals (63%) receiving the strongest endorsements.

“These findings tell us that Canada’s two decades of experience in developing a best-in-class model of P3s is paying off,” said Mark Romoff, President and CEO of CCPPP. “Canadians across the country are seeing clear evidence that public-private partnerships provide the best value for money and make a real difference to their quality of life.”

The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships welcomes the news that the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre (SPSC) Expansion project is now complete.
