What the tags mean →
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 · 48
2 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 → “under a renewed effort to detect fraud, the total number of applications refused for misrepresentation has increased significantly over the last year,” About refusals for misrepresentation, not an estimate of how many undocumented people are in Canada.
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 → “and we work with the CBSA to ensure that those who should be removed are removed.” About working with CBSA on removals, not the number of undocumented people asked for.
Respect · 100
0 of 3 deductions are Respect
