For that price they could have bought a couple of type 212's which would have suited them better.
Canada should has a good size fleet but it relys on the USA and UK to aid its defence weaknesses.
A good fleet for canada imho would be.
2 x LPD much like the ocean or albion of the UK
6 x DDG nothing too brash or expencive along the lines of the Type 45
12 x FFG again the size and cost of british type 23's
10 x other units such as mine warfare and costal patrol craft
4 x SSK submarines like the type 212 as it would give atleast 25 years of service before needing replacement
i didnt put a carrier down because theres no real need for canada to have one.
