To be quite frank, I wasn't much of a fan, but not so much for the content, I should stress. To my mind, it was something that was very similar to the Speech from the Throne, and I would have preferred a different type of procedure and path, namely, emulating what we see in the National Assembly of Québec, whereby you would have the Governor General open the session, but have the Prime Minister read the government's agenda, which would avoid the need to repeat both.
More fundamentally, it's the question of this being a presidentialization of the office, which I believe is to be avoided. That is the purpose of the Speech from the Throne, as it exists. Having the Prime Minister speak directly to the nation, as opposed to in the proceedings of Parliament, is not something I would encourage.
