The American and Canadian coast guard support will be paid for with public money generated from revenue the countries collect, either through taxes or other sources. I have no idea how much it will cost, but likely in the 10s of millions. I am assuming that the British Navy support is also publicly funded.
I am not sure about the French ship, or the private companies that are there. Some of them are likely billing the coast guards, some might be there out of good will or getting paid for by private funds.
