I think your opinion of why the Liberals are doing this attaches far too much nobility to their actions than likely exists in reality. I'm more likely to bet that the Liberals are simply lobbing as many darts as they can, praying that one actually sticks. Cutting down their opponent rather than promoting their own ideas is a tactic the Liberals are expert at.
As far as the apology goes, like most, I feel no personal guilt whatsoever for the actions of others. Government apologizing for past actions is fair, however, and if it helps some heal, then more power to Harper and anyone else involved.
