The Canadians are in the middle of a number of new projects with the Type 26 and the AOPV of particular interest.
The above is a great read from the Canadian Parliament pertaining to warship costings.
Page 19-20 delves into the cost comparison of the AB versus the Hobart Class and concludes "So, using the estimated ninth ship marginal cost, Australia will pay $3.23 billion AUS, or 54 per cent, more for ships two-thirds the size." (They could add with a lot less capability and survivability but probably did not want to be too rude about it being polite Canadians afterall.)
