CEO Welcome to P3 2025

Lisa MitchellThis is a tremendously exciting moment for Canadian infrastructure — with governments across the country gearing up to deliver once-in-a-generation nation-building projects to triumph in an age of uncertainty.

It’s an ideal time to get together to talk!

Be in the room this fall at P3 2025, Canada’s Infrastructure Conference, to hear first-hand from government decision-makers and private sector thought leaders as we explore the latest policy changes, pull apart economic forecasts, and crack open infrastructure sector challenges and opportunities. 

We are the only conference where the entire infrastructure ecosystem comes together — that’s up to a thousand delegates, including investors, builders, designers, operators and Canada’s procurement agencies and policymakers.

With a new federal government promising a robust Build Canada agenda, our Big Ideas General Sessions on October 27 & 28 will explore:

  • Government project priorities: How can the private sector get involved (and what policies need to change to boost engagement)?
  • The infrastructure investment environment: How much capital is available and what kinds of projects do investors want to get involved with in Canada?
  • The boom in renewable energy and the use of Energy Performance Contracts: How is the P3 sector influencing this sector?
  • AI and infrastructure: How is the race for data centres transforming energy demands?
  • North-South, East-West projects: How is the removal of internal trade barriers and the desire to reduce our trade dependence on the United States transforming how we approach infrastructure development? What thorny issues could derail our ambitions?
For Canada to truly seize this moment, we need to unleash the power of partnerships between governments and the private sector — to embrace innovation and speed up shovels in the ground, assess and appropriately share risks, and to multiply the impact of scarce taxpayer dollars with the backing of private investment.

This is how we become an energy superpower, a critical minerals juggernaut and a more diverse and dependable global trading partner. It’s also how we raise the standard of living for Canadians by improving community life and economic opportunities for all generations.

Opportunity is knocking, and with the right partnerships in place, our industry is ready to answer with ambition, integrity and unity of purpose.

We look forward to seeing you in October!

Lisa Mitchell, President & CEO The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships
