Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Ethnic Media

Jason Kenney Dept: OTTAWA - The federal government's intense and expensive scrutiny of Canada's ethnic media may be prompting cries of partisanship from opposition critics, but it could just be a happy confluence of good governance and good politics, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The reports, which ranked media reports from "very positive" to "very negative," included coverage of campaign events in cultural communities during the 2011 election. They also included six weeks of assessments of Immigration Minister Jason Kenney's media image in the spring of 2010, when the minority Conservative government was on an election footing and minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney stands to speak during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Monday, November 5, 2012.
