Canadian rifle production

[Tony Smith]

Not a widely known fact down under, so this might be classified as a "Stupid Question", but when did Longbranch start production of Lee-Enfield Rifles? Was it pre-war or during the war? For that matter, when did John Inglis start production of Bren LMG's.
This is all related to a discussion I had recently concerning Lithgow's Small Arms Factory, which this year celebrates it's 90th year of supplying small arms to the Australian Army.
