In a low-quality video that spread on Twitter last week, Kenney was misheard as saying: "Some people have said our gov't repealed the 1976 coal policy that banned coal mining in the Eastern Slopes. We did no such thing."
That's not what he said.
Here's a better version...(🔊⬆️)
As you can hear above, what Kenney actually said was: "It did no such thing."
The "It" refers to the coal policy and the "thing" refers to the banning of coal mining on the Eastern Slopes.
Kenney is technically correct here, but he's also attacking a bit of a straw man...
It's true that the Coal Policy didn't outright ban coal mining across all of the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
What it did was heavily restrict open-pit mining in large sections of the Eastern Slopes.
