There is supposed to be a AG report coming out on the Senate soon, makes you wonder if Trudeau isn't just trying to distance himself from any bad news?

IMO most Conservatives believe that the way to reform the Senate is to make it democratic. Trudeau's "new" plan is to keep appointing which is the opposite of democratic. It's not brilliant and it's not meaningful reform. You can be sure that Senate reform will be part of the next election, once the Supreme Court rules on what he government can and cannot I have no doubt that Harper will move on the file.
