Rationale

The proposed two-pillar reform suggests adjusting federal transfers to better balance regional disparities without causing systemic shock. A modest 5% increase in the spending index reflects the administrative and transitional costs of rebalancing equalization payments, ensuring that recipient provinces maintain service levels while the new formula is calibrated. This adjustment allows for a smoother transition to a more sustainable fiscal framework.
