OTTAWA, May 13, 2012 /CNW/ - The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of
Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women,
today took the opportunity to wish mothers across Canada a very happy
Mother's Day.
"As Minister for Status of Women, I would like to wish mothers across
Canada a happy Mother's Day," said Minister Ambrose. "I am sure I am
not alone when I say that my own mother was the most influential woman
in my life. Mother's Day is an important occasion to celebrate the
strength and guidance of the women who play a critical role in the
lives of families and communities across Canada."
The Government of Canada is committed to assisting families and
communities and recognizes the importance of supporting mothers both at
home and abroad. In Canada, mothers' roles are as diverse as the
country itself. Some are their family's principal caregivers while
others combine careers in business, the arts, health care and education
with volunteer roles in their communities. More and more, mothers are
also choosing non-traditional occupations such as engineering, science,
technology and the trades.
