Is your premise that "All parties were wrong therefore the PC's can be forgiven"
Their budget was the furthest from the truth even though they were the only party that had a department full of people working on said budget. The Liberals received some office funding as the official opposition which would allow them to hire a few employees to do things like comb through the budget looking for errors. The WRA had no/minimal funding at the time but more donations coming in. They also had someone go through the PC budget. Both parties found 3 billion dollars worth of inconsistencies in the PC budget and stated in the election campaign that that should be fixed. The PC's denied this and ran on a campaign that everything was great.
The fact that the other two parties found half the errors in the PC budget should be noteworthy. They should not be dismissed for missing the other half of the errors.
