What the tags mean →
Signal · 100
0 of 5 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
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 → “what Canadians need to know is what we have done over the last 12 months.” Announces the government’s own record of the last twelve months, not whether the earlier estimate of undocumented people still holds.
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 → “Asylum claims are down, new student visas are down,” Cites declines in asylum claims and student visas, other figures in place of the number 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 → “and temporary foreign worker permits are down.” Cites a decline in temporary foreign worker permits, another statistic rather than the estimate in question.
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 → “In addition, we passed Bill C-12 to proactively manage the departure of migrants.” Points to Bill C-12 as another measure on migration management, not the figure of undocumented people asked about.
Respect · 100
0 of 5 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 · 63
1 of 5 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 → “what Canadians need to know is” The formula asserts what all Canadians need to believe in place of any source.
