Kenney: HRCs unaccountable, lack due process
Earlier this month, Jason Kenney, the Conservative cabinet minister and Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity, called the Canadian Human Rights Commission "dangerous" and "illiberal".
Here is a new interview with Kenney, where he reflects on a recent Quebec HRC edict ordering local politicians to stop praying. Key line:
Freedom of religion is a foundational principle in Canada and communities, in my view, have every right to exercise it as they see fit....
Elected local politicians are accountable to their voters, not to some unaccountable commission with quasi-judicial powers that doesn’t even have due process.
Right on. Now he should pass a note to the Justice Minister to that effect, during their next cabinet meeting.
