(CBC) MPs of all stripes have agreed to investigate how a father and son accused of planning a terror attack in Toronto were allowed into Canada despite claims that the father had taken part in a violent terrorist assault overseas.
The House of Commons standing committee on public safety and national security voted unanimously Tuesday to study the case and to question the ministers of public safety and immigration and other senior security and intelligence officials.
The committee’s probe will run parallel to the ongoing court case against Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son Mostafa Eldidi, 26. Police have said the two men were “in the advanced stages of planning a serious, violent attack in Toronto.”
Police say the father has Canadian citizenship, while the son does not.
