Peter MacKay lauds moms for changing diapers, dads for moulding minds in holiday messages``SNIP.....................
The Mother's Day email congratulates "colleagues" who have "two full-time jobs: as hardworking department of justice employees during business hours, and as dedicated moms and caregivers around the clock."
Especially as he is now the father of an active toddler, MacKay wrote, he could understand, "By the time many of you have arrived at the office in the morning, you’ve already changed diapers, packed lunches, run after school buses, dropped kids off at daycare, taken care of an aging loved one and maybe even thought about dinner."
The Father's Day email had a different tone. In the message, MacKay praises male staff who are "dedicated fathers" and lauds them for "shaping the minds and futures of the next generation of leaders." The words "mould," "teach" and "guide" were employed to illustrate fathers' influence on their children.
