Rationale

National Summit on AI and Culture in Banff (March 15-17, 2026) combined with the BOREALIS initiative for Arctic AI and quantum computing. Represents federal recognition that AI policy must be integrated with cultural policy, Indigenous data sovereignty, and Arctic research. Links to broader sovereignty and digital independence agenda.

Details

Epoch: 118

Domain: governance

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $1.80B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): -$0.30B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • −$0.34B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via healthcare_wait_times
  • +$0.04B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via healthcare_wait_times

Variable changes

  • arctic_research_funding: {"new": 1.8, "old": 1.2}
  • health_data_interoperability_score: {"new": 0.6, "old": 0.55}

Proposed policy move

arctic_research_funding: 1.2 → 1.8 (▲ 0.6)
health_data_interoperability_score: 0.55 → 0.6 (▲ 0.05)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
