Treasury Board put a fair bit of effort into an Open Data licence. The City of Ottawa has adopted it with some minor changes. At the municipal level the license has been approved by OpenStreetMap's legal working group.
I would suggest step one would be to have your data formally approved with this license. Step two might be to have a look on the wiki about how other governments are using OpenStreetMap. Stats Canada is doing a pilot project on buildings so they probably have some analysis tools floating round if you need them. As James has said there is expertise lying around in bringing this data into OpenStreetMap but there is some red tape involved which we can ease you through.
