Canada’s P3 sector is at an important juncture: it needs to grow and evolve while also getting back to the fundamentals of its 30-year success in this country. To lead this change and guide the discussion, the Council is evolving to support our members and the industry — deepening its government outreach, expanding its thought leadership and strengthening its relationship with the public and private sector thought leaders in our community.
Our activities are working to:
The Canadian pipeline of P3 projects remains strong but gaps still exist, including in provinces that have historically used P3s as a means for implementing infrastructure projects and at the municipal level. The Council and its members are coordinating efforts to encourage the use of the model — where appropriate — and to protect it. Educating and dispelling myths about P3s, showcasing its advantages and leading its evolution and adaptations over time with the latest best practices are key.
We do this by:
The Council regularly creates and sends submissions to Canadian governments in support of issues of concern to the infrastructure sector such as government budgets, tax changes and amendments to Acts. These documents are available to help members and other stakeholders understand current Council advocacy and policy positions.
