to the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP), "Canada now has 20
years of experience with P3s and 207 projects are currently in procurement, under con-
struction or in operation across the country." In a national Nanos Research survey com-
missioned by the CCPPP, "62% of respondents [indicated they] 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."

to Canada's economy, generating $51.2 billion in direct economic output and 290,680
direct full-time equivalent jobs between 2003 and 2012.
