This view breaks the statement into its steps and names what each one does.

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 93 words19,000 homes out of a promised 500,000 is a failure, ¹and affordability has not improved. In fact, Statistics Canada reported yesterday that one in four Canadians lives in unaffordable housing.² That is an increase of 22%.³ Things are getting worse; they are not getting better. What is worse is that StatsCan says rising housing costs squeeze family budgets.⁴ More rent payments and more mortgage payments mean more difficult decisions at the grocery store. We have offered a positive solution: save Canadians money on housing by speeding up permits, tying that to federal dollars. The question · 7 wordsWhy will the minister not do that?

What the tags mean

Signal · 100

Nothing lost points on 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.

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.

Clarity · 100

Nothing lost points on Clarity.

Clarity checks for plain speaking, clear ownership of actions, and honest limits on certainty. A low score means vague promises or evasive language.
