Canada has the United States Navy and the Royal Navy as allies when it comes to having Subs and screening ships.
Canada on the other hand does not have an ability to transport Expeditionary Forces on it's own. LHD's and LPD's would be perfect for this role.
As it stands right now the DND is renting services from the Russians to get men and material in and out of Afghanistan via An's and Tu services.
