Admirable effort but I would rather see our Minister of Canadian Heritage focus on Canadian issues  like saving the Spirit Lake internee cemetery, where at least 16 men and some children were buried during Canada's first national internment operations.  They had done nothing wrong but were branded as "enemy aliens" after the Great War began, and ended up dying far from their homes and loved ones. That cemetery has been allowed to decay and is almost lost to the boreal forest - saving it may not be as "sexy" as spending time in Europe talking about the stolen artwork but surely it's something a Canadian MP and Minister of Canadian Heritage should be  taking care of.
