GG Payette:

Julie Payette might have strayed a little from what Canada's new Governor General should have been expected to say during her opening address, but there were no mistakes in how she said it.

While touching on hot topics such as climate change and scientific viewpoints, she maneuvered carefully between her subject matter without actually committing to any specific views that might have been interpreted as controversial.

If she worded the script herself, it was well done. We should expect no less from a Canadian with many creditable achievements.
