The Conservative caucus is also meeting Wednesday morning.
On Tuesday, Duffy, the former Conservative senator, spoke publicly for the first time in months, following a summer of allegations in RCMP court documents that he misspent Senate funds.
Duffy alleges Prime Minister Stephen Harper ordered him to pay back his questionable expenses because the Conservative Party base was unhappy with the spending.
Nigel Wright, Harper's former chief of staff, then arranged to repay Duffy's questionable expenses — a total of $90,000.
Duffy also named names of people involved in negotiating the alleged arrangement and in putting pressure on him, he says, to repay the expenses.
Duffy says he hasn't done anything wrong and that his housing claims, some of the spending for which the RCMP are investigating him, are above-board.
Each party meets every Wednesday when Parliament is in session, leading to raucous question periods afterward. CBC News will have question period LIVE at 2:15 p.m.
Senator Patrick Brazeau, who has also been hit by the spending scandal, spoke to the Senate on Tuesday. Senator Pamela Wallin will speak to the Senate this afternoon.
