None?
I have no information on any 17-pounder production by GM of Canada, Oshawa/Regina Industries Limited, Regina/Border City Industries Limited, Windsor during 1940-45. RIL and BCI produced the 6-pounder of course between them, but never apparently the 17-pounder.
I wrote the RIL story a while back when researching the Regina Assembly Plant of GM of Canada that was turned over to munitions production in July 1941, and it is regrettable in my opinion that they never got around to 17-pounder production; with contracts running out/cancelled from 1944 for the obsolete 6-pdr., the factory was doomed and closed in 1945 for good. Had the war continued the vital contracts might have materialised.
