More quotes by Jason Kenney
The federal court has not commented on niqab as being a violation of any putative Charter right, but rather has said that the court believes that the policy ought to be anchored in legislation or regulation as opposed to an administrative order from the Minister. We disagree with that. But this is not a Charter ruling.

I believe it reflects a misogynistic culture that - a treatment of women as property rather than people, which is anchored in Medieval tribal customs as opposed to any religious obligation, but I do not seek to regulate people wearing this objectionable symbol if they choose to do so.

Jason Kenney
I have said explicitly from day one when I announced this policy in, I believe, November of 2011, that I and our government oppose the idea of banning the wearing of the niqab in public.
Jason Kenney
Rural Alberta is a lot less homogeneous than it used to be, partly because of my immigration policies.
Jason Kenney
I think I've chosen the right path.
Jason Kenney
Sometimes the government has to answer questions with ambiguous language.
