Line 295:
Senators are organized into one of four recognized [[parliamentary group]]s (or 'caucuses'), or are described as "[[independent (politics)|non-affiliated]]" if they are members of none. Three of the parliamentary groups have weak to nonexistent patterns of [[party discipline]] and in lieu of a [[Whip (politics)|whip]] designate an individual to serve as a 'liaison'; they have accordingly been compared to [[technical group]]s or [[crossbenchers]] in other jurisdictions. By contrast, the Conservative group remains affiliated with the [[Conservative Party of Canada|federal party]] with its members attending caucus meetings with its members of the House of Commons; they follow the party whip as a condition of continued affiliation.
