Rationale

Raising permanent resident targets to 600K annually increases labour supply. Short-term employment rate dips as newcomers integrate, but physician supply and demographic growth improve over time.

Details

Epoch: 1

Domain: immigration

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $3.80B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$103.45B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$65.10B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via immigration_rate
  • +$28.88B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via healthcare_spending
  • +$5.46B → hospital_spending (Hospital Services Spending) via healthcare_spending
  • +$3.36B → education_spending (Education Spending) via child_population

Causal effects: 65 downstream variables affected (49 immediate)

Divergence after: 3.310

Variable changes

  • employment_rate: 94.5 → 94.2
  • immigration_rate: 1.2 → 1.5

Proposed policy move

employment_rate: 94.5 → 94.2 (▼ -0.3)
immigration_rate: 1.2 → 1.5 (▲ 0.3)

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