Rationale

Canada exports $380M/year in defence-related electronics and unmanned systems — less than 0.6% of the global market despite a world-class aerospace engineering base. Drone platforms have 3-5 year development cycles. Turkey grew its defence industry from $250M to $6B+ in 20 years via the Bayraktar model. Canada has the talent but lacks a mandate.

Details

Epoch: 95

Domain: defence

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $0.85B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$35.43B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$23.10B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via innovation_index
  • +$6.51B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via innovation_index
  • +$2.94B → education_spending (Education Spending) via innovation_index
  • +$0.89B → defense_spending (Defence Spending (DND)) via innovation_index

Causal effects: 2 downstream variables affected (1 immediate)

Divergence after: 0.150

Variable changes

  • nato_target_gap: 114.15 → 113.3
  • defence_spending: 45 → 45.85
  • defence_export_revenue: 2.8 → 6
  • domestic_drone_platform_count: 0 → 3

Chamber amendment (round 1): Mandate 30% of production contracts to facilities in rural or small-town constituencies.

Proposed policy move
