So Gato has good authority on this that I was unaware of.
Section 419 CC:
Unlawful use of military uniforms or certificates
419. Every one who without lawful authority, the proof of which lies on him,
(a) wears a uniform of the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force or a uniform that is so similar to the uniform of any of those forces that it is likely to be mistaken therefor, ...
So no, that CADPAT constitutes as gov property and cannot be sold to civilians on the public market.
Eh, call MP or not, it's your call, just don't buy the cover. Helmet is still a gray area.
Incidentally I've been told that there was an actual surplus kevlar helmet for sale at a military surplus store in DT Toronto. $200 vs the $50 for a replica, no CADPAT though.
