Madam Speaker, Reasoning · 33 wordsunfortunately, I do not at all appreciate the government’s decision to invoke closure on this debate.¹ Nobody wins when the government limits debate on a bill, especially one that deals directly with justice. Claims · 81 wordsWhen it comes to the basic principles of this bill, we all agree that we need to ensure greater protection and get tougher on crime. As always, the devil is in the details. That is particularly true when it comes to justice and crime. We are all in favour of tougher laws. We all agree that we need to better protect victims and that we need to crack down on criminals, especially in cases involving sex crimes or other related offences. The question · 22 wordsDoes the minister agree that, unfortunately, democracy as a whole loses when the government shuts down debate on such a sensitive subject?

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.

Relevance · no score

Not applicable: nothing to answer. Excluded from the average.

Relevance checks whether the speaker stays on topic and answers the question asked. A low score means the speaker dodged the issue.

Respect · 100

Nothing lost points on 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.
