Signal · 71
2 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.
Procedure Throat-clearing: announcing what you are about to say, or the House’s routine business. What the tags mean → “I will quote the numbers again.” Procedure or throat-clearing: no claim, reason or ask.
Aside A remark off to the side of the point. What the tags mean → “Members like numbers.” An aside: no claim, reason or ask.
Relevance · 49
3 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.
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 → “Members like numbers.” A passing aside about members liking numbers, not about the revocation asked or the estimates.
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 → “There have been 17,800 applications reviewed for potential inadmissibility and 239 visas cancelled by IRCC,” Gives figures on inadmissibility reviews and visa cancellations, not on the timeline for revoking Mr. Rana’s citizenship.
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 there are 176 investigations ongoing with the CBSA.” Cites ongoing CBSA investigations, which does not address why the revocation of Mr. Rana’s citizenship has taken years.
Respect · 100
0 of 5 deductions are Respect

Nothing lost points.
Clarity · 100
0 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.
Nothing lost points.
