“On behalf of the Government of Alberta, I would like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers in our province, including my own mom.

“Our mothers make so many sacrifices and give so much love and compassion to their families, to their children and to grandchildren. “Our joys have been their joys; our sorrows have been their sorrows. Without them, there would be no selfless gift of life.

“For all that you do every day, thank you, happy Mother’s Day and God bless.”
