The liberals have certainly made things worse in their response. The conservatives are contributing as well in seizing the opportunity to attack the liberals in some ways that are further feeding into the loss of faith in core institutions.
A public inquiry may be the only way to save faith in institutions at this point, but a lot more damage can be done along the way before it's done, by both the Liberals and the Conservatives as well as the press and the leakers.
If we end up with the NDP pulling their support from the Liberals and the country being thrown back into an election before this is resolved, it could be very ugly and very bad for trust in institutions on all sides of the political spectrum.
