Rationale

With interest rates holding steady at 4.5%, private capital formation remains constrained by financing costs. Directing targeted fiscal incentives (e.g., accelerated capital cost allowance for green tech and housing) can stimulate business investment without requiring immediate monetary easing, supporting long-term GDP growth.

Details

Epoch: 133

Domain: economic

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $6.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$41.13B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$35.36B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via boc_overnight_rate
  • +$2.66B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via business_investment
  • +$1.20B → education_spending (Education Spending) via business_investment
  • +$1.03B → transfers_to_persons (Major Transfers to Persons) via unemployment_rate

Causal effects: 856 downstream variables affected (778 immediate)

Divergence after: 229.741

Variable changes
