Canada funds rather than crews three Queen Elizabeths

Would Canada be more likely to fund three additional Queen Elizabeth-class battleships or crew them itself?

Canada would probably finance Royal Navy ships, following New Zealand and Malaya, instead of creating crews for its own battleship squadron.

The answer doubts that Canada would create and sustain the crews for three additional battleships. A financial contribution is considered more plausible than forming an independent Canadian capital-ship squadron. New Zealand and Malaya provide the model: contribute money for a major Royal Navy unit while leaving operation and personnel inside the established service. The result would be three more Queen Elizabeth-class battleships in the imperial fleet rather than three Canadian-manned ships.
