The Senate national security and defence committee is set to discuss security threats facing Canada today on Parliament Hill.
Jeff Yowarski, deputy director of operations for Canada's spy agency CSIS, is among those scheduled to appear before the committee.
The hearing comes with Canadian fighter-bombers and surveillance aircraft slated to be in the Middle East by the end of the month, ready to conduct bombing missions against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant by early November.
Gerald Cossette, head of Canada's financial intelligence agency, will also appear at the committee hearing.
He says his organization, the Ottawa-based Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, is actively helping police and spies follow the money flowing into the coffers of Islamic extremists fighting overseas.
It's passing along information to investigators as part of the government's effort to combat the militants who have occupied parts of Iraq and Syria.
Other events in the nation's capital today:
- Liberal leader Justin Trudeau will be at a Sussex Drive restaurant for the launch of his memoir, Common Ground.
- NDP Leader Tom Mulcair speaks at the Credit Union Government Relations Forum.
- First Nations National chief Ghislain Picard holds a Parliament Hill news conference to discuss the Canadian Human Rights complaint against the government for discrimination against First Nations children.
