Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism
Jason Kenney has extensive public service experience, previously serving as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, and the Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity). He is a former Chairman of the House of Commons Subcommittee on International Human Rights and served in several positions in Opposition, including as Finance Critic and Deputy House Leader. Mr. Kenney has been voted “best overall” and “hardest working” MP by his colleagues in Maclean’s Magazine’s annual survey of parliamentarians. The National Post has called him “perhaps Canada’s best immigration minister ever” for his efforts to strengthen the integrity of the immigration system, while improving economic opportunities for newcomers.
