A charge sheet does allege that Ahmad Fouad Mostafa Eldidi committed an aggravated assault for the benefit of the Islamic State in 2015 somewhere outside Canada, but doesn't offer further details.
"There have been some public allegations around certain information.

NDP public safety critic Alistair MacGregor said Wednesday he supports the proposal to get the committee to look into the case.
A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency said the organization can't comment on individual cases.
