A series of deadly attacks, all occurring within hours of each other. From a gunman opening fire at a Tunisian resort to a beheading at a French gas plant, an attack on a military base in Somalia and a suicide bombing at a Kuwait mosque, the attacks — all linked to jihadists — have left Canada and its allies searching for ways to respond.

Canada's Defence Minister Jason Kenney believes at least some of Friday's attacks were coordinated. He joins us from Lviv, Ukraine, where he is meeting with Canadian trainers following the NATO defence summit earlier this week, to discuss global terrorism and the role Canada has to play in its eradication, even as ISIS gains strength in Syria.

Then, we turn to politics at home as HarperPAC...well, packs it in, after less than a week of existence. We'll look at the growing influence of well-financed political action committees in federal politics in the unregulated pre-election period.

Conservative Party spokesperson Kory Teneycke is here to explain why his party didn't approve of HarperPAC, while elections law professor Michael Pal gives us a broader look at why PACs could be a dangerous new world for Canadian politics.

Plus, Lieutenant-General Christine Whitecross joins The House to update us on her efforts to address the problem of sexual misconduct in the military.

And our In House panelists Tasha Kheiriddin and Mark Kennedy set out the menu for the political barbecue circuit that's already heating up.
