Good point. I doubt the government would hand over all of the NCC land outright to the city. Some parts will probably never be developed and should be shifted over to Parks Canada.

There's big parts of the Greenbelt that are mostly unused fields. Developing parts of the Greenbelt would certainly prevent further outward expansion of the suburbs for a significant time.
