The Canadian Senators Group was formed this week not to vote as a block, but to vote with more unbiased information at their fingertips.
Saskatchewan Senator Pamela Wallin is one of the 11 members.
They are colleagues from across the country that reach out to each other from time to time, and they formed the group to balance, or counter-balance, the majority in the Senate.
Wallin hopes the Canadian Senators Group will help to better represent regional concerns, and lead to the Senate being more effective.
