I have seen the 40L in service on some late production C8.

It is pictured on the Colt Canada web sight several times. Typical option sold by them.

Certain units have been using the ARMS 40 for ages. I doubt they were originally sourced from CC.

There is a Canadian variant because standard ones won't fit a Weaver rail without modification. I don't know if they also compensate for the fact that our Weaver rail sits higher (0.040?) than the Picatinny one.

Look at the accessory in the 7 o'clock position in the pic from the CC website.

I never said that they don't sell/market them. I was simply pointin out that the Cdn models have been in use in the CF for quite some time. Maybe they come from Colt Canada maybe thy don't. I doubt they were the original source.

Do you think the CF buys their Elcans from Colt?

A lot of stuff comes from the manufacturer themselves and other things through a distributor like MD Charlton.

Ya. I do... Like any other retailer, they can bid on contracts. Like any other buyer, the CF doesn't necessarily buy direct from a manufacturer.
