Rationale

pay_equity_implementation_rate 31% three years after Act enactment. gender_pay_gap_index 0.87. The legislation exists. Enforcement does not. Automatic penalties for non-filing remove the institutional waiting game.

Details

Epoch: 110

Domain: human_rights

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $0.15B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$10.88B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$8.58B → canada_health_transfer (Canada Health Transfer (CHT)) via gdp_growth
  • +$2.31B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via food_affordability_index
