The street and road names information is in the Geobase. The layers are described in The GeoBase Web Mapping Service (WMS)
http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/wms/index.html

From this information, I have selected a few layers,  especially, street address range, street names, primary roads and secondary roads.
To show that it works, lets firs ask for a tile from a web browser with bbox information. The link below will show information for a tile in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

http://ows.geobase.ca/wms/geobase_en?service=wms&request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&SRS=EPSG:4326&style=&format=image/png&transparent=true&LAYERS=nrn:addressrange,nrn:streetnames,nrn:streetnames:streetnames_primary,nrn:streetnames:streetnames_secondary,nrn:streetnames:streetnames_other,nhn:hydrography,nrn:roadnetwork&BBOX=-73.27880859375,45.321254361171476,-73.267822265625,45.32897866218556&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

And finally the JOSM url for the WMS plugin. We should see the equivalent information in JOSM. This will appear under the OSM layer. We just have to hide the OSM layer to validate the content.

wms:http://ows.geobase.ca/wms/geobase_en?service=wms&request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&SRS=EPSG:4269&style=&format=image/png&transparent=true&layers=nrn:addressrange,,nrn:streetnames,nrn:streetnames:streetnames_primary,nrn:streetnames:streetnames_secondary,nrn:streetnames:streetnames_other,nhn:hydrography,nrn:roadnetwork&WIDTH={width}&height={height}&BBOX={bbox}&

Does anyone have a URL for a WMS layer that displays Canvec roadnames for 
the smaller roads?  Everytime I've looked at the canvec WMS layers I've 
never seen names of non-highways show up.
