Conservative leadership candidate Steven Blaney, still mining the identity politics seam in his quest to replace Stephen Harper, said today he wants to establish a Royal Commission on Canadian identity.

A Conservative government under Blaney’s leadership would “take decisive actions to ensure the sustainability of our Canadian identity which is based on core principles enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” says a press release.

Blaney’s commission would “fully and impartially investigate past and current challenges to our Charter of Rights and Freedoms which determines our country’s commitment to tolerance, fairness and equality.”

Parliamentarians would hold debates on the Royal Commission’s findings and recommendations and ultimately define “what we stand for as a country,” says the release.

As examples of threats to Canadian identity, Blaney cited the debate over the private Christian school Trinity Western University and its bid to operate a law school, “which is likely to end up at the Supreme Court of Canada.” He also pointed to “the controversial video of the Toronto Police Service’s new Muslim chaplain on marital advice.”

The Toronto Police service’s newest Muslim chaplain made headlines this week for his views on women and marriage. In a 2013 webinar, Musleh Khan — who describes himself as a marriage counsellor — said a woman should be “obedient” to her husband at all times and must not refrain from intimacy without a “valid excuse”.
