The scientific vessel to replace the decommissioned Canadian Coast Guard Ship Hudson is now $1 billion over its original budget.

Although CCG personnel are neither a naval nor law enforcement force, they may operate CCG vessels in support of naval operations, or they may serve an operational role in the delivery of maritime law enforcement and security services in Canadian federal waters by providing a platform for personnel serving with one or more law enforcement agencies.

Interesting, so it's more of a civilian paramilitary organization? I'd say the vessels are still needed, even if it's not directly military

No not even paramilitary, their assistance to military and law enforcement is limited to transport basically. Bus drivers essentially...

CG is great, it's annoying that this project is over budget, but I have no problem with them getting funded and equipped.
