Far as I know, all parties did apologize. The Liberals were second and specifically named the Liberal party as being complicit in this scandal because they were in power something like 70 of the last 100 years. But it was Dion talking and I just had to turn the TV off. I think the CBC guy said 'the Bloc will speak next, followed by words from the NDP'.
In the pre-amble, Harper specifically thanked "the leader of the NDP" for helping him put it all together.
I didn't pay attention to what went on before but the apology/speech itself didn't stink of politicking on anyone's part.
