Rationale

ACOA-led emergency fund targets fisheries diversification, ocean tech, and offshore wind in Atlantic Canada. Addresses the double hit of oil price collapse and tariff impacts on Newfoundland and regional GDP.

Details

Epoch: 3

Domain: regional_development

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $2.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$1.74B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$0.87B → education_spending (Education Spending) via newfoundland_corporate_income_tax
  • +$0.68B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via gdp_total
  • +$0.19B → canada_health_transfer (Canada Health Transfer (CHT)) via gdp_growth
  • +$0.00B → defense_spending (Defence Spending (DND)) via gdp_total

Causal effects: 3 downstream variables affected (3 immediate)

Divergence after: 11.171

Variable changes

  • gdp_atlantic: 159.54 → 165
  • newfoundland_gdp: 38.34 → 40

Proposed policy move

gdp_atlantic: 159.54 → 165 (▲ 5.46)
newfoundland_gdp: 38.34 → 40 (▲ 1.66)

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