Mr. Speaker, Claims · 113 words I think the next member to speak to the bill will be able to give some insight into the viewpoints of indigenous communities on this. I would note that historically, a significant amount of indigenous community support was assembled and put into place through discussion, consultation and negotiation for northern gateway.1 Hidden agency As I mentioned in my remarks, the Eagle Spirit energy project itself was indigenous-led and -created.2 Partly on point Both of those projects were terminated by a Liberal government with an anti-oil, anti-energy agenda.3 Off point Work has been done. Hidden agency It has been thwarted to date. Partly on point Hidden agency I would welcome the opportunity, once the way is clear, for private industry to undertake those obligations with respect to consultation.

What the tags mean →
Signal · 100
0 of 9 deductions are Signal
Signal checks whether every part makes a point, gives a reason, or asks for action. A low score means the speaker filled time with fluff, pleasantries, or attacks.
Nothing lost points.
Relevance · 47
6 of 9 deductions are Relevance
Relevance checks whether the speaker stays on topic and answers the question asked. A low score means the speaker dodged the issue. Measured against the point put to the member, and the bill under debate.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about. What the tags mean → “I think the next member to speak to the bill will be able to give some insight into the viewpoints of indigenous communities on this.” It defers to a future speaker instead of answering what consultations were done.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about. What the tags mean → “I would note that historically, a significant amount of indigenous community support was assembled and put into place through discussion, consultation and negotiation for northern gateway.” It is about past consultations for a different project, not consultations for this bill.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about. What the tags mean → “As I mentioned in my remarks, the Eagle Spirit energy project itself was indigenous-led and -created.” It is about indigenous involvement in another project, not support for this bill.
Off point Talking about something other than the matter at hand: the question asked, or the bill, motion or speech under debate. What the tags mean → “Both of those projects were terminated by a Liberal government with an anti-oil, anti-energy agenda.” It blames past governments for cancelling projects, not the consultations asked about.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about. What the tags mean → “Work has been done.” It asserts work was done generally, without saying what consultation the member himself did.
Partly on point Staying near the subject without addressing the matter at hand: what was asked, or what the bill, motion or speech is about. What the tags mean → “It has been thwarted to date.” It is about past projects being thwarted, not the member’s own consultations.
Respect · 100
0 of 9 deductions are Respect
