Rationale

GDP and resource revenue disparity indices rise as oil-rich provinces surge ahead. Saskatchewan uranium exports grow with SMR and global demand. Chain: provincial_gdp_disparity -> equalization_payments (+0.70, d1); resource_revenue_disparity -> equalization_payments (+0.50, d1); sask_uranium_revenue -> sask_resource_revenue (+1.0, immediate).

Details

Epoch: 57

Domain: fiscal_federalism

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $21.45B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$17.85B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$13.63B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via resource_revenue_disparity
  • +$6.93B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via income_inequality
  • −$3.16B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via federal_budget_balance
  • +$0.88B → education_spending (Education Spending) via income_inequality

Variable changes

  • sask_uranium_revenue: 0.29 → 0.5
  • provincial_gdp_disparity: 1 → 1.3
  • resource_revenue_disparity: 1 → 1.4

Proposed policy move

sask_uranium_revenue: 0.29 → 0.5 (▲ 0.21)
provincial_gdp_disparity: 1 → 1.3 (▲ 0.3)
resource_revenue_disparity: 1 → 1.4 (▲ 0.4)

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