All the more reasons to proceed with the libel suit. The Liberals haven't done a good piece of politicking during Dion's leadership, but have repeatedly resorted to personal attacks against members of the Conservative Party. It's pathetic.
But there was certainly enough evidence to warrant an investigation, therefore making an allegation was appropriate. You can't have an inquiry without an allegation.

To use a different example, if someone is put on trial for murder but gets off because the case is only circumstantial, it doesn't mean that the police were wrong for making allegations.

It's good that there was no evidence of wrong doing. It is better for everyone if the PM and the opposition can focus on governing.
