Father Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, left, and son Mostafa Eldidi, right, face a total of nine charges, including one count each of conspiracy to commit murder for the benefit or at the direction of a terrorist group. Conservative MPs are calling on the House public safety committee to investigate the case of a father and son in Toronto charged with multiple terrorism-related offences.
"For Canadians to have confidence in our immigration system, we need to know that in every case, in every application, the due diligence and proper screening is done. Clearly that was not done in this situation and lives were almost lost," he said.
When asked Tuesday if he had seen the video for himself, Scheer said he had only seen public reports about the incident. Scheer said the committee should hear from Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and government officials who approved Eldidi's immigration application. He called on the NDP and Bloc Québécois to support the Conservatives' proposal.
