Trudeau's "Independent", "Arms-Length" Senate Appointment Process is Jus...

In Senate Question Period, the Trudeau Government Senate Leader dodges questions by Senator Denise Batters about the Trudeau Government's supposed "independent", "arms-length" Senate appointment process -- questions first asked 5 months ago! 

If Trudeau's Senate appointment process is so independent and transparent: 
- why won't Senator Harder tell Canadians who sponsored the last 16 Senators appointed? 
- why won't the Trudeau Government admit which provinces had their entire Senate advisory panels picked by the PMO? and
- why hasn't the advisory panel filed a report since 2017?
The obvious answer: The Trudeau PMO and Gerry Butts have hand-picked Senators who will take their marching orders from the failing Trudeau government. This is yet another broken Liberal promise.

By the way, here's the "answer" it took Trudeau's Senate Leader FIVE MONTHS to provide to me. 
3 paragraphs of word salad. ZERO answers to my Senate appointment questions. 
More proof that Trudeau's "independent", "arms-length" Senate appointment process is just smoke and mirrors, and another broken Liberal promise. (see below)

Senate Appointments
(Response to question raised by the Honourable Denise Batters on November 21, 2018)

Under the independent Senate appointments process, it is not a requirement for a person to be nominated by an organization for consideration as a candidate for appointment.

Records received by the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments (Advisory Board), including information on nominations, are confidential and treated in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act.

In recognition of the important role the Senate plays in regional representation, two Advisory Board members are selected from the province or territory where there is a current or upcoming Senate vacancy. The Government of Canada asks the province or territory to propose names of potential board members before appointing the members from that jurisdiction for a one-year term. While participation in this process is not mandatory, deliberations with provincial and territorial partners in the selection process of Advisory Board members are treated as confidential."
