Signal · 100
0 of 3 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 · 71
1 of 3 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 → “but after that, obviously, the fund will have its own investment and will generate revenues that can be reinvested and create wealth for Canadians.” About the fund generating its own revenues afterwards, not who bears liability for the consolidated fund.
Respect · 100
0 of 3 deductions are Respect
Respect checks whether the speaker argued with people’s positions and records rather than attacking the people: insults, mockery, or bad motives assigned to them. Criticism of what someone did, however strong, is not marked.
Nothing lost points.
Clarity · 0
2 of 3 deductions are Clarity
Clarity checks for plain speaking, clear ownership of actions, and honest limits on certainty. A low score means vague promises or evasive language.

Unearned certainty Something stated as certain with nothing to back it. What the tags mean → “obviously” The fund’s future success is asserted as self-evident with no source or basis offered.
