OTTAWA — The Opposition Conservatives are calling for a parliamentary committee to probe how a man charged with terrorism offences possibly entered Canada with alleged ISIS ties.

House Leader Andrew Scheer made the call on Tuesday following a report from Global News last week based on unnamed sources that 62-year Ahmed Eldidi immigrated to Canada after having allegedly been involved in committing violence against an ISIS prisoner, according to a video.&nbsp;

The Opposition Conservatives are calling for a parliamentary committee to probe how a man charged with terrorism offences possibly entered Canada with alleged ISIS ties. 

House Leader Andrew Scheer made the call on Tuesday, following a report from Global News last week based on unnamed sources that 62-year Ahmed Eldidi immigrated to Canada after having allegedly been involved in committing violence against an ISIS prisoner, according to a video. 

Scheer said he has not seen the video himself but has relied on media reports. Postmedia has also not viewed the video. 

Nonetheless, Scheer said the situation demands the government and relevant security agencies answer for how an individual with alleged ISIS ties was able to enter Canada.

Scheer called for the governing Liberals and Bloc Quebecois to support the Conservatives in recalling a parliamentary committee to investigate the matter, which he says would include hearing from Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Immigration Minister Marc Miller. 

Last week, the RCMP announced officers had laid terrorism related charges against Ahmed Eldidi and his 26-year-old son Mostafa Eldidi, whom police say were "in the advanced stages of planning a serious, violent attack in Toronto," before their arrest at a hotel in Richmond Hill. {ai:summary}In the shadowy corridors of power, the Conservatives demand answers. A man with a history stained by terror sneaked into Canada, raising eyebrows and questions about security lapses that could let a wolf into the fold. Now, the call for a probe lingers in the air, echoing fear and suspicion. #crime
