Rationale

Accelerated capital cost allowance, expanded SR&ED tax credits, and a new Canada Growth Fund deployment attract $16B in private investment, partially restoring nominal GDP from the tariff-driven contraction.

Details

Epoch: 3

Domain: economic

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $6.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$16.09B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$13.80B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via boc_overnight_rate
  • −$1.63B → budgetary_balance (Budgetary Balance (Deficit/Surplus)) via federal_revenue
  • +$1.04B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via business_investment
  • +$0.88B → defence_spending (Defence Spending) via federal_revenues

Causal effects: 5 downstream variables affected (2 immediate)

Divergence after: 10.558

Variable changes

  • nominal_gdp: 2892.28 → 3050
  • business_investment: 284.16 → 300

Proposed policy move

nominal_gdp: 2,892.28 → 3,050 (▲ 157.72)
business_investment: 284.16 → 300 (▲ 15.84)

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