Windsorite Sandra Pupatello has become a Canadian Senator.
Pupatello was sworn in on Thursday, becoming a member of the Canadian Senators Group.
She was an MPP in Windsor-West from 1995 until 2011. During her time as an MPP, she held roles such as Minister of Education and Minister of Economic Development and Trade.
In a recent interview with AM800's Patty Handysides, Pupatello outlined how the Senate works.
'Ever since Trudeau made the Senate independent, post 2015, not a single bill has come into the Senate that hasn't received amendments or changes,' she explained.
'Which is really interesting. We need to look at the unintended consequences of legislation. Is this going to do what it's intended to do?'
