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.

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.

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 → “which would potentially be supporting up to 100,000 Canadian jobs.” The clause details the job potential of the submarines, focusing on economic benefits rather than the F-35 subject.
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 → “We have a strategic partner with General Dynamics that is supporting thousands of jobs in London and across the country.” The clause offers an example of industrial support, but it is not related to the F-35 program or its history.
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.
