N.W.T. Senator's Affiliation Switch
Northwest Territories Senator Margaret Dawn Anderson has switched her affiliation to the Conservative Caucus, a move that may increase her influence in the Senate.
Experts believe this change could add new constraints, as Anderson may be expected to align with her new party, the official opposition.
- Anderson's new affiliation may bring her more influence in the Senate.
- She may be expected to fall in line with the Conservative Caucus.
As a senator, Anderson reviews legislation put forward by Parliament members.
Senators are appointed by the Prime Minister and serve until they reach 75 or step down.

No comment from Anderson on the reasons for her move.
