Converting basement cold room to interior space. Is the 2x4 holding up the ceiling structural?

Located in Toronto Canada.

This is a cold room under a concrete porch that I am converting into interior space. Going to line the walls with rigid foam insulation before 2x4 framing on the walls with Rockwood between the studs. I would like to remove the existing framing and OSB and do the same as the walls but unsure if it is safe to do so. If it is structural and not safe to remove should I just spray foam the ceiling between the 2x4s and vapor barrier then drywall on-top?
