Jason Kenney

Jason Kenney: "All of the social research indicates that folks who come from stable families tend to do better in terms of their economic prospects, and income-splitting supports families who are investing in their kids," the federal employment minister said, according to Huffington Post. But Kenney, a staunch social conservative, once again defended the concept when asked about it at the Manning convention, an annual networking conference for conservative-minded Canadians and Jason Kenney is vigorously backing the Conservative government's contentious income-splitting promise, infusing the debate with a social conservative element Friday as he insisted the scheme will benefit "stable" Canadian families. Income-splitting, a key Tory pledge during the 2011 federal election campaign, has since faced criticism from those within the Conservative government including Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and from left- and right-wing economists alike.
