As Canada's national voice on public-private partnerships, The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships is often called upon to present remarks or research related to the use of P3 in Canada at public inquiries, hearings or discussion groups.
Below is a collection of these submissions and a brief description of the context.
The Impact of Global Credit Retraction and the Canadian PPP Market
Deliberations by the Industry Members of CCPPP (Spring/Summer 2009)
As financial markets continued to experience disruptions during the first half of 2009, CCPPP conducted a series of workshops with private sector representatives to examine the impact of the global financial crisis on the Canadian PPP market and to formulate recommendations on how to mitigate its effects. “The Impact of Global Credit Retraction and the Canadian PPP Market – Deliberations by the Industry Members of CCPPP (Spring/Summer 2009)” is the result of this 4-month consultation process, which involved project sponsors, lenders and advisors from over 30 participating companies.
With rapidly changing market conditions and recent improvements, the issues identified in this report may shift and proposed solutions may need to be adapted. This report should consequently be viewed as a contribution to an ongoing dialogue between public and private sector market participants to address the evolving issues in the Canadian PPP market.
Hearings and Submissions on Bill 61: "An Act Respecting the Agence des partenariats public-privé du Québec"
As part of the Government of Quebec's review of legislation concerning the formation of a P3 Agency, the Committee on Public Finance solicited comment from interested parties on the agency's proposed scope and mandate. CCPPP made a written submission to the Committee in September 2004 as well as a presentation in November 2004.

An Infrastructure Planning, Financing and Procurement Framework for Ontario’s Public Sector
In the Spring of 2004, the Government of Ontario held consultation sessions to obtain feedback on its "Discussion Paper on Infrastructure Financing and Procurement". It was the Government's first step in developing a long-term plan to address Ontario's infrastructure deficit. In April, CCPPP submitted a Position Paper to the Minister of Public Infrastructure Renewal, Hon. David Caplan, outlining the benefits of using public-private partnerships to deliver much-needed infrastructure in Ontario. In July, the Ministry released "Building a Better Tomorrow - Infrastructure Planning, Financing and Procurement Framework for Ontario's Public Sector". Ogilvy Renault prepared a brief on the framework for CCPPP.

Walkerton Water Inquiry
The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships was actively involved in the technical meetings and public hearings of Part Two of the Walkerton Water Inquiry, appearing at five separate meetings and making a number of submissions. The objective of CCPPP was to put before the Commission an alternative to traditional public sector water delivery. Many of the arguments made in the briefs have application across sectors.
The following are the submissions made as well as comment on the issue of Chapter 11 in NAFTA:
