Rationale

With inflation near target and interest rates stabilizing, Canada needs to stimulate productive capacity to support long-term GDP growth. Increasing business investment by ~12.5% through accelerated capital cost allowance (CCA) for green tech and infrastructure will modernize the economy without fueling consumer inflation.

Details

Epoch: 133

Domain: economic

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $4.73B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$35.99B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$30.94B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via boc_overnight_rate
  • +$2.33B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via business_investment
  • +$1.05B → education_spending (Education Spending) via business_investment
  • +$0.90B → transfers_to_persons (Major Transfers to Persons) via unemployment_rate

Causal effects: 856 downstream variables affected (778 immediate)

Divergence after: 228.319

Variable changes
