Robert Wight (Deputy Commissioner, Shipbuilding and Materiel, Canadian Coast Guard, Department of National Defence) at the Government Operations and Estimates Committee

My understanding of the accounting of the Coast Guard's expenditures is that 100% of the expenditures of the Coast Guard are counted against the NATO targets, given that the Coast Guard is now a special operating agency under the Department of National Defence, along with the CAF and CSE. According to NATO rules, that accounting allows for 100% of that expenditure to be counted against the NATO targets.
