I would have to go anecdotally from the last time I was at sea, which was about four years ago, when I was coxswain of HMCS Montréal. We had a good number of aboriginal sailors on board my ship. We were fortunate enough to do a Great Lakes deployment, stopping in Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City. I think that in itself helped when our sailors went ashore and interacted with Canadians.
