My question is this, will the parallel runways accommodate the flight traffic that would be beyond +35M passengers? (As well freight) Or would it reach capacity limits, where it would be practical to build another parallel runway to relieve pressure?

I'm not an expert but I believe at some point the airlines themselves will increase the capacity available at YYC by using larger planes. For example, Gatwick sees just over 35m passengers are year but only has two runways.
