This year, CCPPP's annual conference — now in its 33rd year — is focused on looking forward, finding and sharing solutions, and being bold in creating and leading the next generation of alternative procurement models that deliver the best value, resiliency and operational capabilities for communities across North America.

Recent conferences have hosted frank, honest conversations about what’s working — and what’s not — in Canada’s market, with a call to action to reinvigorate the third ‘p’ in P3s: partnerships. Now it’s time to put everything we’ve heard into action.

This is Canada’s moment to redefine how it funds and procures major infrastructure projects, to ensure the infrastructure not only meets immediate needs but also offers sustained, long-term value to our communities.

With an ever-increasing demand for infrastructure investment, growing debt, inflation, trade labour shortages, and other market conditions affecting infrastructure delivery in Canada, governments — more than ever — need to have tools to ensure maximum value for taxpayers. For these reasons, it is the Council’s firm view that the need for P3s in this country has never been greater.
