How Britain would support a larger Canadian fleet

A Canadian building program is placed inside the shared personnel and strategic system of the interwar Royal Navies.

Question

How much would Britain and the Royal Navy help Canada build a larger interwar fleet?

Short answer

Extensively in design, training, weapons, and personnel exchange, with Canada integrated into the wider Royal Navy system much like Australia.

Notes

Britain would provide design knowledge, shipbuilding experience, gun production, and extensive institutional support, much as it did for Australia. Canadian officers and sailors would circulate through Royal Navy and other Dominion ships, building experience within an integrated strategic and personnel system even while serving under RCN identity.
