Rationale

During COVID-19 Canada discovered it had no domestic strategic reserve of PPE, ventilators, or critical drug compounds. The federal emergency stockpile had been depleted and not restocked. Provinces bid against each other on spot markets at 10x normal cost. There is no national distribution infrastructure.

Details

Epoch: 97

Domain: healthcare

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $2.10B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$0.00B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Causal effects: 1 downstream variables affected (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 0.160

Variable changes

  • critical_drug_reserve_days: 30 → 180

Proposed policy move

critical_drug_reserve_days: 30 → 180 (▲ 150)

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