Members of Parliament on the public safety and national security committee voted unanimously on Tuesday to study how a man who is facing terror charges was admitted to Canada and obtained citizenship.

The investigation comes after Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son Mostafa Eldidi, 26, were arrested in Richmond Hill on July 29, and hit with nine terrorism charges two weeks ago, including conspiracy to commit murder on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq, also known as ISIS and Daesh.

The committee will begin its study later this month and will invite Immigration Minister Marc Miller and Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc to testify.

LeBlanc says federal departments are reviewing how two men with suspected links to a terrorist group abroad were allowed into Canada.
