Rationale

Implementation of Canadian Human Rights Tribunal orders on child welfare ($1.6B), FNPP essential services legislation passes (0→1), and Indigenous population growth continues. Chain: child_welfare -> indigenous_services; policing_essential -> indigenous_policing_funding; population_growth -> indigenous_services (d4). Three pathways to increased Indigenous services spending.

Details

Epoch: 51

Domain: indigenous_affairs

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $2.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): -$0.19B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • −$0.45B → preventable_chronic_disease_cost (Annual Cost of Preventable Chronic Disease) via child_in_care_rate
  • +$0.20B → budgetary_balance (Budgetary Balance (Deficit/Surplus)) via indigenous_policing_funding
  • +$0.07B → direct_program_spending (Direct Program Expenses) via indigenous_policing_funding

Causal effects: 18 downstream variables affected (11 immediate)

Divergence after: 1,508.443

Variable changes

  • indigenous_policing_essential: 0 → 1
  • indigenous_child_welfare_spending: 2.4 → 4
  • indigenous_population_growth_rate: 1.9 → 2.2

Proposed policy move

indigenous_policing_essential: 0 → 1 (▲ 1)
indigenous_child_welfare_spending: 2.4 → 4 (▲ 1.6)
indigenous_population_growth_rate: 1.9 → 2.2 (▲ 0.3)

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