If I'm not mistaken that is a Patt '37 gas mask bag, so I believe that this is an early WWII or a (just) pre-war Militia photo.

Yes, Ross rifles were held in store & issued during WWII, mainly for training.

OTOH Enfield MkIIIs did not enter Canadian service until 1917ish....

Yes WW2 they are both wearing Pattern 37 webbing, probably Militia or at a training camp. The Ross was issued for both uses.
 
This photo was made using reverse parallax to emphasize the height differential. Notice how the Ross appears to be the same length as the SMLE and the left respirator bag is 20% bigger than the right. The rh figure is standing to the rear of the lh. P37 web so it is a WWII pic.
