Relevance · 47
4 of 5 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 motion 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 → ““...you have no decision-making authority over matters of human resources at Alto;” Continues the Ethics Commissioner quote about Alto decision-making, not whether the minister cast the vote 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 → “I was also told that there is no risk of conflict of interest and that a screen is not required.” About being told no conflict-of-interest screen is required, not whether the minister voted on Motion No. 44.
