Would have been one of the most important trials in Canadian history. The evidence that would come out would probably also very embarrassing for the government, but so be it. This needed to finished publicly not via a confidential closed door negotiation where the facts are hidden.
Consider how this looks to the soldiers of Canada. They die/get maimed and at most they get a meager pension or an honourable funeral. Think how this looks to the bad guys -- their combatant is now rich beyond his wildest dreams.

If they went through a trial, he probably would have received more money. Not to mention by the time it was done, there could have been a different party in power. So actually yeah, they probably should have passed the buck like the 3 previous PMs did.
